[01:17] * Some ways I've seen some organisations wrongly approach Black History Month events. [02:00] * What organisations can do to have a better Black History Month 365 approach.

Quotes on* Black History 365 is about conscious shift to truly understand black contributions, excellence and legacies in society today. * if you want to change the usual way of doing things and set yourself ahead of the pack, you don't want to appear tokenistic. * Black History Month is vital, and one month, much like South Asian History Month, is not enough to recognise the ongoing inequalities, inequity, history and truths. * There's old fashioned language and there's hate speech. * Tokenism isn't helpful. And although it may be done with the right intention, the impact can be harmful.
