In this training, Dr. Hipolito-Delgado raised awareness of internalized racism and its impacts on communities of color and shared the findings of a study of 350 Latina/o/x students that explored predictors of internalized racism. This training helped our team discuss the relationship between interpersonal racism, assimilation, and internalized racism and explore strategies for identifying, preventing, and addressing internalized racism.
