- "It's hard to remember that cultural competency is a journey and not a destination. There is no point when we can say that we've checked off everything we need to know about it."
- "Bias - both conscious and unconscious - is a topic that we need to know more about. It affects our interactions with the populations we serve, often without us knowing it."
