Reflections--A reflection can be an image or representation of people, places, experiences or ideas. Reflection is also the act of fixing thoughts on something; to give it careful consideration. Reading, viewing or listening to content from unique experiences and representative voices followed by open discussion is one avenue to understand and appreciate different viewpoints.
