“INCLUCIVE” - Diversity and Inclusion Consultancy

🌟 Exciting Announcement 🌟 I founded Inclucive to drive meaningful change. Our mission? To cultivate inclusive cultures within organisations, fostering environments where individuals from marginalised backgrounds can thrive authentically. Many of you already know me and understand my unwavering pride in my heritage. As a British-born individual of Nigerian and Trinidadian descent, I am a proud black woman leveraging my platform to ignite change. Every day, I'm committed to expanding the circle of allies and accomplices because their voices are crucial in effecting positive transformations. I recognise the challenges that individuals like myself encounter in navigating the corporate landscape. Hence, I collaborate closely with organisations, championing Awareness, Education, and Action. While I typically refrain from talking about the positive feedback I receive, I've decided it's time to change that. So, here I am, sharing the impact Inclucive is making. If your organisation is seeking passionate consultancy services centred on Allyship and Anti-Racism, consider partnering with a black-owned consultancy like mine. By doing so, you're not just embracing change – you're initiating it. Let's embark on this journey together towards a more inclusive future.

Day 30: Highlight Historical Erasure Black History Month may be drawing to a close, but the journey towards understanding and acknowledging the full breadth of Black history is ongoing. Today, we shine a light on the pervasive issue of historical erasure. For centuries, Black history has been systematically suppressed, distorted, and overlooked. Our contributions have been minimised or attributed to others. This erasure not only robs us of our rightful place in history, but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes and reinforces systemic inequalities. Why Reclaim Our Narrative? Reclaiming our narrative is an act of empowerment. It's about: Truth and Justice: Challenging the dominant narrative and demanding accurate representation of Black experiences. Self-Determination: Taking control of how our stories are told and ensuring future generations inherit a complete and authentic understanding of their heritage. Healing and Reconciliation: Acknowledging past wrongs and working towards a more inclusive and equitable future. The Eurocentric Lens Often, even when Black history is acknowledged, it's presented through a Eurocentric lens, focusing on narratives of slavery and oppression while neglecting the rich tapestry of Black achievement and resilience. We need to move beyond this limited perspective and embrace a more holistic and nuanced understanding of Black history. What Can We Do? Educate Ourselves: Seek out diverse sources of information, support Black historians and scholars, and challenge our own biases. Demand Curriculum Change: Advocate for the inclusion of Black history in school curricula, ensuring it's taught throughout the year, not just during Black History Month. Black History is British History! Amplify Black Voices: Support Black businesses, consultants, creators, artists, storytellers etc. Share their work and amplify their voices. Let's continue to challenge historical erasure and work towards a future where Black history is fully recognised, valued, and celebrated everyday. #ReclaimOurNarrative #BlackHistoryMonth
