Hidden bias has emerged as significant evidence to the disparity between public opinion. However, discrimination still exists, as people meet and communicate daily (Fastcompany). The first question that surprises me was if you could choose between being twenty or seventy? This was a difficult question to answer because ageism affects both old people…

My colors sure are hidden! Hidden colors is a documentary backing up the truth of our people of color around the world.
