It's Black History Month in the UK. As a global organization, participation during the UK's Black History Month is paramount for Diversity In Aquatics, especially in amplifying voices, ideas, and initiatives from the African Diaspora. The choice of October for the commemoration, marking the end of slavery in the Caribbean, is symbolically significant, resonating with the organization's commitment to inclusivity and justice. Furthermore, our activities during this month serve as a powerful reminder of our broader mission: to ensure that the waters we love are accessible and welcoming to everyone, irrespective of their background. We must also acknowledge the inextricable link we share with our counterparts in the UK. The struggles and successes across the Atlantic mirror our own, underscoring the universal nature of our mission. By pooling efforts and uniting voices, we can help ensure that Black History Month is a celebration of the past and a stepping stone towards a more inclusive and equitable future in aquatics, both in the UK and beyond.
