As Black History Month begins, we're reflecting on the impact of African American entrepreneurs and leaders in the business world. Their resilience and innovation continue to inspire us.

Today marks the first day of Black History Month. The words of leaders and visionaries who dedicated their lives to Black empowerment and the fight for equality are worth repeating. These messages empower and inspire future generations, and call on every member of society to treat all humans with fairness and dignity. Black History Month aims to amplify Black voices.  Remember, educate, celebrate! #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2024

Today starts Black History Month! My history, Our history can't be fit, discussed, honored, displayed in just 28 days! Make this month and every month a history lesson for your children. Teach them about their culture, their lineage, their contributions, their potential. Take them to libraries, historical places, watch movies about Black pioneers, read books. It is your responsibility to do this, more importantly than what they get from school. Learn together. 28 days cannot define a race, a culture, so dont let it define you!

As we commemorate Black History Month, we honor the resilience and strength of Black communities throughout history. From overcoming adversity to fighting for justice and equality, the lessons learned are both powerful and inspiring. In the face of challenges, we've seen remarkable resilience in individuals who've paved the way for progress and change. Their stories remind us of the importance of perseverance, determination, and solidarity. Let's take this opportunity to reflect on the valuable lessons of resilience from Black history and apply them to our work and lives. Together, we can continue to build a more inclusive and equitable future. Here's a list of films that offer a range of perspectives and stories that contribute to understanding and celebrating Black history and culture. 1. 42 (2013) 2. Hidden Figures (2016) 3. 12 Years a Slave (2013) 4. Selma (2014) 5. Malcolm X (1992) #Blackhistorymonth

Every February, we observe Black History Month to celebrate the immense contributions, cultures, and histories of the Black community. For non-Black people, this month (and all months really!) must be about doing the work: the learning and the un-learning needed to show up as anti-racist allies. One way we like to do this is by reading and amplifying the work of Black female writers, such as Alice Walker and Maya Angelou who paint "powerful pictures of Black history and show how it shapes our present." Get nerdy with us and dive into these reads! Is there a book on your list that you're reading this Black History Month? Let us know in the comments. #blackhistorymonth #books #womenofcolour #blackauthors #diversityandinclusion
