Black History Month

Black History Month is celebrated in February, and it is a time to highlight Black joy, black identities, amazing people who are from African, Canadian, Caribbean identities who identify as being Black.

It is a time to not only celebrate and highlight the greatness of folks who are from those communities, but also do things such as addressing how anti Black racism exists in your organizations orin your communities or in yourselves.

Celebrate all year

It's also key that we do this work every day, and not just in February, because Black identities and Black joy and Black excellence occurs.

It every single day of the year, and people exist every single day of the year.

An action you can start today

Collect data to see where Black and other marginalized identities are represented, address disparities of representation such as lack of Black folks in leadership, complete an audit of your policies and procedures through an ABR (Anti-Black Racism) lens.
