February is recognized as Black History Month, a time to celebrate and honor the achievements, contributions, and history of African Americans. May we utilize this month to raise awareness, educate, and promote inclusivity by recognizing the often-overlooked impact of Black individuals on society and culture. Here are some questions to help inspire reflection and conversation: 1. How do you personally connect with different forms of artistic expression and what cultural influences have shaped your appreciation for art? 2. Can you share a memorable experience or connections you've had with a piece of art (visual or musical) created by African Americans, and how has it resonated with you? 3. Why is it important to include diverse viewpoints in creative collaborations at work, and how can we improve integrating ideas from all backgrounds to drive innovation?

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate and honor the lives of Black and African American people and Black Canadians, past and present, whose contributions have helped shape our nation. During Black History Month, engage in meaningful conversations, educate yourself on lesser-known figures, and support Black-owned businesses. Actively seek out diverse perspectives in literature, music, and art. Remember, it's not just about a month; ongoing awareness and allyship matter. Be open to learning, challenging biases, and contributing to a more inclusive future. https://accntu.re/4biiwfT

Think about the last time you had the opportunity to choose an agency/freelancer/creator to work with. Did you stick with folks who felt familiar or did you step outside your comfort zone? Look, I know that working with smaller, diverse firms and creatives may seem risky. The processes, language, and vibe may be different than what we've been taught is the "right" way. But passing over people due to so-called culture fit just perpetuates the status quo and makes it harder for the next Black or brown creator to get a foot in the door. So I’m choosing to embrace more opportunities with diverse creators in order to cultivate a more inclusive industry. I’m choosing to be intentional. I’m choosing to put in the work. It’s important to me. If it’s important to you, I encourage you to do the same. #blackhistory365

In a world of contrasts, finding our own inner light is crucial. It can guide us through the darkness and help us navigate life's challenges. We must recognize the beauty in both light and dark, and celebrate Black excellence as a shining example. The Black community is resilient, strong, and rich in culture. From art to science, they have made significant contributions to society throughout history. Despite facing obstacles, their excellence shines bright, reminding us that greatness knows no color or boundaries. Let's come together to honor and uplift #BlackExcellence. Let's celebrate those who have paved the way for future generations. Let's embrace diversity and recognize the power within it. As we journey through life, let's remember to look within ourselves for our own light. And let's also shine a light on those around us who embody #BlackExcellence in their own unique way. Together, we can create a brighter world for all. 🖤

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful day of liberation and reflection. As we honor the end of slavery in the United States, let's come together to recognize the enduring strength and resilience of the Black community. This is a moment to reflect on the journey toward freedom and equality, and to energize our collective efforts in the ongoing fight for justice. Partner with us in celebrating Black culture, history, and contributions that continue to shape our world. Together, we can build a future where freedom and equality are truly universal. Did you know? Enslaved people ingeniously used hair braiding as maps for routes of escape from their enslavers. This incredible act of resistance highlights the ingenuity and resilience of those who fought for freedom. After emancipation, Black people have continued to use their hair as an act of celebration, resistance, and a bold expression of self. #Juneteenth #BlackFreedom #CelebrateFreedom #EnergizeChange

As you reflect on the importance of Juneteenth and its impact on the American history, take this time to honor the past, appreciate the present, and aspire to have a better future. This is a day to remember, celebrate, and continue the fight for freedom and equality. Let’s honor the freedom and resilience of the Black community, pay tribute to those who championed equality, recognize the advancements achieved, and pledge to continue striving for a fair and inclusive society.

I’m editing this post, because of the number of people who still don’t understand why this is unacceptable and are defending this mess. If this newspaper has other ads for Black History Month showcasing the achievements of Black residents, then please send those to me. I want to see the ad for Women’s History Month and see if it contains pictures of ALL MEN. Let’s see if there is outrage about that. At the bottom of this ad, in tiny letters it says “celebrating the achievements and accomplishments of Black Canadians…”. Which ones exactly? Because the majority of this ad space is celebrating people OTHER than “Black Canadians”. Apparently, the faces and phone numbers are WAY MORE important than this because the font is 2X bigger. Please raise your hand if you have ever needed a phone number in order to contact a politician about ANYTHING. The majority of folks don’t even vote, so I already know the answer to that. Does paying for a BHM ad = being a decent person that treats Black people fairly? If so, then why would they bother being against racism, when all they have to do is pay for one add in February? That’s way less work. By that reasoning, all congress people who are against DEI and vote against civil rights have to do is take out a Black History Month ad in their local newspaper and that’s it! Got it! If the RESIDENTS (NOT US residents that know NOTHING about the racial climate there) of this city know why NONE of the Black politicians paid for ads celebrating Black History in THIS newspaper and ONLY these non-Black politicians did, please send that information to me. In the year 2024 of my Lord, to assume that Black people have malicious intent involving situations you know nothing about, and that NON BLACK people are innocent angels, just wanting to celebrate Black History Month is incredibly naive and gullible. Feel free to write your own post if you like, that way YOU can control those comments.

As we celebrate Black History Month, it's important to uplift black voices and recognize black success. Let's remember that being black is not just a trend or a month-long celebration. Blackness is a part of who we are, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Let's continue to celebrate and embrace our blackness every day. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence #Bwicr #Clinicaltrials #Clinicalresearch
