While all of the speeches that were presented were great, I was especially intrigued by Sarah’s speech on unconscious bias. I specifically was really engaged with her introduction. She immediately started off with a question that stumped the class (or at least me), grabbing our attention and keeping us interested throughout the whole speech. The speech was well organized and flowed really well. I could tell that she really connected with the topic she chose and I was able to relate to her with similar experiences. I thought that using different examples of unconscious bias was very helpful and allowed the audience to better understand where she was coming from. I also appreciated the call-to-action towards the end. I think that it would be important to describe where stereotypes come from and how unconscious biases form. That way we have a better understanding of how they start to come up with new ways to stop them from spreading. While I am constantly trying to be aware of unconscious biases that I see around me, this pitch really made me think about different stereotypes that I am unaware of exhibiting. The riddle at the beginning of the speech left me shocked to realize that I was so blind to not realizing that the doctor was his mother. I believe that there is still a lot that we can learn about unconscious biases and I am excited to see an even more-in-depth analysis of this later on.
