Black History Month 2022

Black History Month is a reminder of many atrocities against black folks especially in the West.

For most, it’s the evidence of racism in just about every sector, policing, housing, immigration, employment, religion, education, health, military, etc.

Black History Month provides us with the opportunity to do what is right and challenge ourselves, society, and the workforce about ensuring that the history of racial exploitation ends.

Black History Month is also about the authentic history of black and brown people in the West and especially in the UK.

A celebration of the immeasurable contributions of Black folks in the UK.

An opportunity to rewrite history and end the denial of the talents of Black people.  

It is therefore important to face the realities of equality, diversity, and inclusion now and the future, no matter how difficult and do everything we can to ensure that we break the chain of racial discrimination in our past, present, and future.
