    This is an excellent interview with Dr. Rah. Thank you for posting it. I think the interview questions were very well thought out and thus framed the conversation in ways that would help those who might be new to the topic. I liked the picture-in-picture format which allowed the viewers to see both Dr. Rah, as well as, Michaela and Chad at the same time. The inserted text on the side was also helpful in creating a multi-media presentation.

    The one thing that is presently missing is the information on the authors and books that Dr. Rah recomended for further study on this topic.

    Blessings,

    Shlomo

    Coming from the dominant white culture I assumed every educated speaker responded in a 1-2-3 answer. I wan’t to treasure the diversity of others and encourage others to live “as God created them” as Dr. Rah mentioned. I am thankful for the quick lesson on culturally diverse conversation. I can’t wait to listen!
