Workshop Abstract
Some of us have rose-colored glasses on and don’t even know it. Some of us haven’t examined our life lens in a while and don’t realize how much “grime” has built up. Some of us have a very old prescription that distorts our view of the world. Some of us were raised to “not see color.” In this course, we will discuss how to identify and update your life lens for a color-rich, diverse, and inclusive perspective.

Recorded One-Hour Webinar
This webinar was delivered to Bossier Parish Community College on 2021-03-18. We had about 30 participants each for the back-to-back sessions. The recording has been edited to trim out lulls and breaks, and the Q&A from repeat sessions combined with a single session recording.
