MICROAGGRESSIONS A Primer for the Food Allergy Community Inclusion is an ever-evolving space. Whether it be race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, social class, or even geographic location there will always be something to work towards as it pertains to in- clusion and equity. As we increase our knowledge about the different dynamics of family structures, physical health concerns and mental health concerns the potential to pull people in closer will continue to demand intentional work to overcome biases. Allowing yourself to be open to things you don’t know or don’t know enough about is like the ultimate scavenger hunt with something new and marvelous at every twist and turn. While on this new journey of understanding microaggressions, be sure to show compassion toward yourself and others. This added layer of compassion can help serve as a gentle nudge into more inclusive thinking spaces as you work to diffuse the impact of both conscious and unconscious bias.
