February may have come to a close, but Black History continues to shine on! Let's recognize that while February may be over, Black History remains ever-present.

This year’s theme for Black History Month is “Reclaiming Narratives,” marking a significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture 📖🌟 This theme underscores a commitment to correcting historical inaccuracies and showcasing the untold success stories and the full complexity of Black heritage. It’s about honouring our heroes while challenging the narratives that have often overlooked the contributions and achievements of Black individuals both in the UK and globally 🌍🎉 Read more about the significance of this year’s theme for Black History Month, here 👉 https://sie.ag/7FGo9o #Siemens #SiemensFinancialServices #BlackHistoryMonth #ReclaimingNarratives

This year’s theme for Black History Month is “Reclaiming Narratives,” and marks a significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture. By emphasising “Reclaiming Narratives,” we shine a brighter light on our stories, allegories, and history. #BHM2024 #blackhistorymonth #reclaimingnarratives

As a part of Black History Month, and as one of the first steps in my new #EDI focused role, I created and delivered a session to our entire SOS-UK team on “Untold Stories” in line with the “Reclaiming Narratives” theme for this year’s BHM. I shared the often untold stories of the significant and historical contributions of many Black men and women and the often neglected histories of kingdoms, empires and intricate, prosperous civilisations, with advanced education and political systems that existed in Africa long before European contact or intervention such as The Mali Empire, The Benin Empire, The Ashanti Empire etc. It’s important to reclaim and retell our stories and remember that Black history does not start with slavery, it does not start with oppression and fighting and it’s about time this is really known and understood. We have a rich heritage and have and still do contribute in immense ways to life, knowledge, and society. Our education system has a big job to do! Below you can see a snippet of some of the stories I shared in our team session, of remarkable Black women and men who have made and are still making significant contributions to our world and our history despite this not being known or shared in mainstream narratives or indeed in our history books and our classrooms in school. #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #ReclaimingNarratives #RetellingStories #Inclusion #Diversity #Equity
