This year’s Black History Month was a great opportunity for us to honour the contributions of Black communities. First celebrated in the UK in 1987, BHM was created to spotlight the achievements of Black Britons and recognise those often left out of mainstream narratives; a chance to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and work towards a more inclusive future.   This year’s theme of ‘Reclaiming Narratives’ focused on empowering Black voices to share their own stories, challenging stereotypes, and ensuring authentic representation of Black experiences. To complement this topic, we invited renowned spoken word artist Jay Chambers to perform several powerful pieces focused on identity, culture, and storytelling. His poetry left us all reflecting on the importance of owning our stories, breaking free from stereotypes, and celebrating the richness of Black culture. As always, we couldn’t celebrate BHM without some delicious food, welcoming Dookies Caribbean Catering back to the La Fosse offices for a fantastic feast including jerk chicken and tasty side dishes…we all went back for a second helping! Sharing his personal journey as a Black professional, La Fosse COO Glyn Blaize discussed leadership, identity, and how ‘Reclaiming Narratives’ resonates in a chat with our Proud2Be network ambassader Eli Dingwall. It was a unique opportunity to gain insight and learn more about navigating the corporate world as a Black leader, with key takeaways such as: “If you’re in the room, it’s because you deserve to be there. It’s good to be grateful when you’re in a leadership position, but don’t minimise the fact that you got yourself there through merit”. Thank you to everyone who helped organise these inspiring and valuable events, and to all the teams across our global offices who approached this year’s BHM celebrations with an open mind and willingness to learn. We’ll continue to talk about these important topics and reflect on our commitment to diversity and inclusion. To find out more about La Fosse’s commitment to DEI, visit https://lnkd.in/eZuFTBPP.
