Black and Irish

As part of our Black History Month celebrations in Ireland, I'm excited to spotlight Black and Irish – an inspiring initiative that began as an Instagram page during the George Floyd protests and has since grown into a thriving platform. 🌍 Black and Irish amplifies Black voices in Ireland, offers DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) training to businesses, and raises awareness of the unique experiences and challenges faced by the Black community in Ireland. Their work is vital in fostering understanding and promoting inclusivity within Irish society. Thanks to Pierre Yimbog for the interview

We were delighted to welcome Pierre Yimbog, Co-Founder and COO of Black and Irish to our Dublin office to celebrate Black History Month. Pierre spoke about Black History in Ireland, the work carried out by the Black & Irish organisation, and championing diversity and inclusion in Ireland. A big thank you to Pierre for coming in to speak to us and to our Verve Committee for organising the event. #BlackHistoryMonth

We teamed up with Cooperate Housing Ireland to deliver a workshop on inclusive communities in Carlow over the weekend. The energy in the room was palpable and it was clear how much these community members care deeply about their area. In the workshop we started off with some icebreakers followed by a discussion on the current climate in Ireland. We then did a deep dive on diversity, equality, equity, inclusion and belonging and what they mean for our communities. After a short break we discussed the issues in our immediate community and wrapped up the session by setting a vision for our community. Thanks to CHI and Carlow for having us!

Can you believe... 🎙👩🏾🏫 My first feature on a podcast! In January I had the absolute pleasure to have a lovely conversation with @IrishwithMollie (on Instagram) about diversity in Irish education. On Mollie's second podcast episode, 'Irish with Mollie', we discussed the role of an educator, my journey in 'becoming the teacher you and I have never had'. What it means to be Irish, the power in believing in yourself and why Irish grammar needs dissection 🇮🇪. You can listen to the full podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast or any podcast streaming site!😆 Go raibh mile maith agat @IrishwithMollie a chara! 😁💕
