"As we move in to Black History Month in the UK, it's important to remind ourselves that we should be working towards a position in which one month doesn't become the only focal point where Black creativity, contributions and accomplishments are acknowledged"

As we move into Black History Month in the UK I think it’s important that we remind ourselves that we should be working towards a position in which one month doesn’t become the only focus point in which Black creativity,contributions and accomplishments are acknowledged. That we live in a time when the curriculum is decolonized and no longer taught through a white lens. When the achievements and service of Black people are uplifted and celebrated with the same value placed on others. When businesses and organisations don’t need a special reminder to bring Black specialists and educators into the conversation. This not a criticism of BHM,it’s a really valid and important moment but this month should not be a tick box exercise for organisations and the work needs to continue all year round.
