Mark Your Calendar: Black Leaders Awareness Day on July 18th - Honouring the Accomplishments of Black Leaders, Past, Present, and Upcoming! At Black Leaders Awareness Day (BLAD), we recognise the significance of establishing a powerful visual identity that embodies our principles and objectives. We have developed a distinctive logo and visual style that can be utilised consistently across all our platforms. Our logo serves as a representation of empowerment for black leaders and we are dedicated to ensuring its respectful and thoughtful usage. To assist you in promoting Black Leaders Awareness Day, we have provided an official collection of downloadable logos, images, and other branded materials. You can access them by visiting the following link: https://lnkd.in/eDJaNJF2 There are several meaningful ways to celebrate Black Leaders Awareness Day. Here are a few ideas: 1. Educate Yourself: Take the opportunity to learn about the significant contributions and achievements of black leaders throughout history. Read books, watch documentaries, or explore online resources to deepen your knowledge. 2. Share Their Stories: Use your platform, whether it's social media, a blog, or a community event, to share the inspiring stories of black leaders. Highlight their accomplishments and the impact they have made in various fields. 3. Organise Discussions and Panels: Arrange panel discussions or community forums to facilitate conversations about the contributions of black leaders. Invite speakers who can provide insights and perspectives on their achievements and the ongoing importance of their legacies. 4. Support Black-Owned Businesses: Show your support for black entrepreneurs and business owners by intentionally choosing to shop at black-owned businesses. This can help promote economic empowerment and highlight the success of black leaders in the business world. 5. Volunteer or Donate: Participate in volunteer activities or contribute to organisations that work towards advancing the rights and opportunities of black communities. This can involve mentoring programs, scholarships, or initiatives focused on leadership development. 6. Host Cultural Events: Organise cultural events such as art exhibitions, musical performances, or theatrical productions that celebrate black culture and the artistic contributions of black leaders. This can promote appreciation for their creativity and encourage dialogue about their impact. 7. Engage in Reflection and Dialogue: Take time to reflect on the challenges faced by black leaders and the ongoing struggle for racial equality. Engage in open and honest conversations with others about the importance of recognising and celebrating their achievements. Approach the celebration with respect, empathy, and a genuine desire to honour the accomplishments of black leaders while promoting awareness and understanding.
