Black History Month is a period dedicated to the celebration of Black culture and history, rich in the immensity of its diversity, present throughout the world. While Black History Month is the time of the year dedicated to promoting our diverse heritage, it is important for individuals to realize that our heritage should be valued year-round and to continue educating and informing oneself beyond the month of February.<\/p>\n

Centering the diversity throughout the diaspora of our community is a great step in challenging ourselves to consistently seek out and search for stories and experiences that expand our understanding of Black history to include all who play a role in it, not just a highlighted few.<\/p>\n

Black History Month serves as a reminder of our past and allows us to pay tribute to our ancestors whose shoulders we stand on today. It gives us an opportunity to collectively assess where we are now and where we want to be. Through joy and celebration, alongside education and reflection, we embrace that we must reclaim our past to understand how and why we came to exist today. We then look to transform that reflection into action, looking to propel our heritage into the next era, one in which we continue to carve out space for ourselves and make waves in society.<\/p>\n

Let these 29 days serve as more than a moment \u2014 let them be the renewal of a movement.<\/p>\n
