Black History Month 2022

Black is beauty, rhythm and joy.

Black is embracing and falling in love with my unique shade, curls and coils.

Black is a mixture of sorrow and resilience.

I see Black History Month as a time of reflection and remembrance.

A reflection on who we really are and how proud we should be of ourselves and to always remember those who came before us and paved our lives.

Black History Month emphasises the need to always stand up for ourselves and our community and being brave enough to not accept labels.

Black History Month is wisdom, hope and faith.
