“We must work to view the world through our neighbor’s eyes.” Derek Ham
Would you be willing to walk a mile in the shoes of a Black man in the South at the height of the Civil Rights Movement? Or respond to a life-threatening dispatch call in the place of a modern-day police officer? Through virtual reality simulations, storyteller Derek Ham helps communities do just that, creating a bridge of empathy between people of color and law enforcement officers.
Hear Derek share about: • His unlikely journey as an African American male in tech • How virtual reality can disrupt implicit bias and prejudice • How the non-violent usage of gaming echoes the non-violent protests of MLK Jr
