Welcome to a very powerfully special edition of the world renowned BBC!
Today we celebrate Black History Month!
During BHM we celebrate the achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history! We must “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history!”
Overachieving while breaking barriers. Jumping while being held down. Pioneers paving the way.
Black History Month 2022 Theme
Since 1976, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The Black History Month 2022 theme focuses on the importance of Black Health and Wellness. This theme acknowledges the legacy of not only Black scholars and medical practitioners in Western medicine, but also other ways of knowing (e.g., birthworkers, doulas, midwives, naturopaths, herbalists, etc.) throughout the African Diaspora. The 2022 theme considers activities, rituals and initiatives that Black communities have done to be well.
So please join us on the celebration of this magnificent month and be inspired! And comment below!
