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

This #Juneteenth, we honor those who fought to abolish slavery and continue our fight for freedom while celebrating the Black community’s rich and diverse history. Juneteenth marks when enslaved Black Americans in Texas were notified of their freedom in 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed. Today, systemic racism, targeted misinformation, and racial injustice continue to challenge true Black liberation. So, on Juneteenth, as our collective works to fight for justice, let’s recommit to our fight for Black freedom. We’re not free until we’re ALL free.

Black Joy is a symbol of hope and empowerment for Black individuals amidst racial challenges. It affirms that they are not just survivors but also thriving agents of change. This spirit has been a source of strength and motivation throughout history. It carried enslaved African ancestors through unimaginable trials, believing that future generations would reap the seeds of freedom they sowed. At #America250, we celebrate Black Joy as a reflection of life, culture, and community. It's about finding positivity and support within ourselves and those around us. It's also a way of healing and resting our body, mind, and spirit. During this #BlackHistoryMonth, we invite you to join us in recognizing and honoring Black Joy. It's not just a concept. It's a movement, a celebration of being, and a legacy that we carry forward.

This year’s Black History Month theme, Reclaiming Narratives, marks a powerful shift in how we view and celebrate Black history and culture. It’s about challenging the narratives that have historically marginalised Black achievements and instead highlighting stories of resilience, success, and empowerment. This theme is more than just about reflecting on the past—it’s a movement to correct the inaccuracies, reclaim stolen legacies, and ensure that Black voices are heard and honoured. Throughout this piece, we delve into personal stories from influential figures who have reclaimed their own narratives in the public eye. From Ncuti Gatwa, the first Black actor to take on the iconic role of Doctor Who, to Thandiwe Newton, reclaiming her Zimbabwean heritage by embracing her true name, these stories show the power of owning one’s identity. Tennis champion Naomi Osaka and Romeo & Juliet actress Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, also share their journeys of reclaiming space in industries that often fail to recognise the importance of representation. Reclaiming Narratives isn’t just a theme for this month—it’s a call to action, encouraging us all to honour, educate, and empower ourselves and others by taking back control of the stories that define Black history.

🌟 Representation is crucial - Black History Month 2024🌟 It's that time of the year again - October signals Black History Month in the UK. Having nearly always been the "only one" and seeing very few other black people in a variety of spaces I understand the importance of REPRESENTATION. As the saying goes "If you can see it, YOU can be it!" However, we need to see more role models/heroes/sheroes other than the typical sports star, musician etc. I am not saying do not promote them but let people see that others are who breaking barriers and making a significant difference who are not in the spotlight. Such as the Black vet Dr Bolu Eso who was one of the leading vets on last year's Channel 4 series Fur Babies. I was in awe seeing a Black Vet on the television because as an animal lover, he was the first ever in the UK to be on TV! He also has a great Instagram account! Last week I was watching a reality series about a US Black family of Vets who run a successful veterinary practice. In the UK this doesn't exist. More and more Black people in the UK are pet owners. Then there is Professor Issac Manyonda, who is a consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and doing some great work on Menopause (recently interviewed for the Menopause Masterclass series). Dr Nneka Nwokolo, NHS Consultant Sexual Health Physician, is an expert in women's sexual and reproductive health, contraception, and menopause. The three mentioned are doing excellent work, undertake a Google search will uncover many more Black people. Let's open our minds and showcase those individuals who are not in the spotlight but are making huge contributions to the UK. This year’s theme for Black History Month is “Reclaiming Narratives.” It’s about taking control of our stories and honouring our heroes while challenging the narratives that have often overlooked the contributions and achievements of Black individuals both in the UK and globally. #ReclaimingNarratives #BlackHistoryMonth2024
