The national protests,which are in response to the numerous deaths of Black men by the police in 2014,have the US scrambling to create better race relations. As the human race, it isimportant that we find ways to create trust. When we can begin to seedifferences as safe, than human relations can become stronger. We want ourbabies to grow up in a peaceful world. This begins with conversations andinteractions with others who have different cultures than our own; this iscalled cross cultural knowledge. Cross cultural knowledge, is one of the fivecultural competencies; and it can only be acquired through interaction withpeople. Some easy steps to get started in cross cultural knowledge, is to visita faith house that is different than yours, volunteer in the English as a secondlanguage classroom, attend community events outside your community, offerchildbirth classes in different communities, join groups that representdiversity, this is the best way to learn other cultures. Don’t be shy, smile,laugh and enjoy learning more about the unique cultural of others. If you wantto learn more about cultural competency than join me on Saturday March 7, 2015,in Portland, Oregon from 10:00am-5:00pm for a Cultural Competency Training:Working with Diverse Populations in Maternal and Child Health.
