Celebrating Afro-Latine Heritage During Black History Month with #TeachMeAntiracismDiversity 🖤 As we observe Black History Month, it's crucial to embrace and highlight the rich tapestry of experiences within our communities, including the vibrant Afro-Latine heritage.

This poem not only educates but also inspires dialogue among children, parents, and educators about the intersections of racial and ethnic identities. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diversity within our communities, particularly the Afro-Latine experience, which often navigates the complexities of racial, cultural, and national identities. In honoring Black History Month, let us use 'L is for Latinx or Latine' as a tool to discuss with our young learners the stories, achievements, and challenges of Afro-Latine people. This conversation is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the multifaceted nature of identity and to foster an environment of inclusivity and respect. We encourage you to incorporate the celebration of Afro-Latine heritage into your Black History Month activities. Share resources, stories, and lessons that highlight the contributions of Afro-Latine individuals to both their communities and the broader world. Let's use this time to engage in meaningful conversations that uplift all voices and stories. #BlackHistoryMonth #AfroLatinx #DiversityInEducation How do you plan to celebrate the diversity of experiences during Black History Month?

As we celebrate Black History Month, we honor the rich cultural heritage, achievements, and contributions of the Black community around the world. At UL Global, we are committed to fostering diversity, inclusion, and global understanding throughout our academic community. Sandrine Uwase Ndahiro is a PhD candidate here at the University of Limerick whose research on life in the Anthropocene looks at how Black and Indigenous communities in the continent occupy necropolitical sites of violence, displacement and resistance. Read below about Sandrine's fascinating and crucial thesis: Make live, make die, and let die: Refusal to die in the terminal time of the Anthropocene, examines how contemporary Africanists like Helon Habila (fiction), Wangari Maathai (autobiography), Wanuri Kahiu (film), Idrissou Mora-Kpai (film), Nyaba Leon Ouedraogo (photography) and Fabrice Monteiro (photography) take on an imaginative licence of charge to capture the living conditions in deathscapes that do not let off the hook the existing power structures like colonialism and capitalism that continue to inflict harm and deny Africans a secure and dignified life. The selected texts do not fall prey to the objectification of the victimized African subject as a pitiful subject. Instead, the authors and creatives push the audience to the limits of their comprehension and shift the registry of language through the centralization of postcolonial subjects who can not and will not abandon the desire to live even when faced with a certain death. This riotousness to remain alive sees African subjects’ ability to collate solutions and imagine possible radical black futures that reproduce distinctive African imaginaries that have the potential to contribute to a shared/planetary future. Sandrine is also the Editor in Chief and founder of Unapologetic Magazine - a multidisciplinary, literary, and cultural magazine that responds to the social issues and creative opportunities of contemporary Ireland, offering a reboot and upheaval. The magazine aims to capture a historical moment in contemporary Ireland as we move to a new definition of what it means to be Irish. The magazine aims to give people from minority and diverse backgrounds a space to be unapologetically themselves while simultaneously highlighting the social issues we experience in contemporary Ireland. #BlackHistoryMonth #AcademicExcellence #PhD

Black history, reminds us of the strength, resilience, and contributions that have been central to human progress. These stories matter because they remind us of the power of truth and representation. When we honor the history of BIPOC communities, we honor the legacy of courage and innovation that challenges the status quo and drives us forward. As individuals, these histories define us, teach us, and inspire us to stand taller. ✊🏾 👏 As societies, they show us where we’ve come from and guide us in creating a more just and inclusive future.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history. Whether digital, literary, visual or performing arts, Black trailblazers and innovators revolutionized their fields, often transforming them by pioneering new techniques and styles. Through art, important issues and figures in African American history are exalted, and underrepresented stories are preserved. For the entire month of February, we invite everyone to join us in celebrating art and its relationship with justice. Art plays a role in communicating emotions, building community and inspiring action. #blackhistory #BlackHistoryMonth #blackhistoryalways #BlackHistoryMatters #blackhistoryeveryday #Blackhistorymonth2024 #creditunion #creditunionlife #creditunionsrock #creditunions #creditunionscare #creditunionfamily #creditunionmembers #CreditUnionCommunity #credituniondifference

‼️A New Study from NC State College of Natural Resources Researchers‼️: Do you identify as a Black LGBTQIA+ person in the United States? Do you participate in iNaturalist, eBird, HerpMapper, volunteer water quality monitoring, the GLOBE apps, or ANY participatory science project (citizen science/community science) where you go OUTDOORS to collect and share data about your environment? If so, are you interested in exploring your experiences in the participatory sciences? Do you want to share your experiences with others like you to help create safe and improved measures for protecting and affirming Black LGBTQIA+ individuals in the field? Are you interested in learning a technique that could empower actionable change in participatory science projects or other social justice initiatives? Researchers from North Carolina State University are inviting Black LGBTQIA+ individuals engaged in the participatory sciences to write about, discuss, analyze, and co-produce understandings of their individual experiences and how that links to the collective. • Visit the 🔗 in the ad to learn more and sign up: go.ncsu.edu/safety2

February is Black History Month! The 2024 Black History Month theme, "African Americans in the Arts," explores the innovative and powerful history of black voices in literary, visual, and performing arts: "African American art is infused with African, Caribbean, and the Black American lived experiences. In the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression, the African American influence has been paramount. African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment. Artistic and cultural movements such as the New Negro, Black Arts, Black Renaissance, hip-hop, and Afrofuturism, have been led by people of African descent and set the standard for popular trends around the world. In 2024, we examine the varied history and life of African American arts and artisans."
