“Listen to each other. Have open dialogue and don’t be afraid to ask questions. I don’t want to speak for all people of color but I know myself, I’m not one to flip out on you if you ask me a genuine question. There’s a difference between being funny and asking a genuine question. Like, I don’t know this about you or your culture. Listen to each other and answer questions that people ask them. How do you expect to get along with or coexist with a group of people on campus that you don’t even know? If we want to live together without hating each other we have to get to know each other and I feel like the only way to do that is to listen, have open dialogue, and ask questions,” said Akaiia Ridley, a junior from Albion (Photo by Catherine Silvestri).
