We are both students at York University. During this ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, we decided to do something that can educate people and promote positive interaction amongst people. we decided to do one for kids because our children are mostly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Raising awareness of unconscious biases will help make school and classrooms conducive for every child this coming academic year.
