Wavemaker Roots presents Black History Month

Black History Month is an important time to celebrate and shine a light on black culture and achievements. This dedicated month is a time when we are given the opportunity to learn about the many contributions and accomplishments of Black people, which have historically been overlooked.

The goal is to inspire and instill pride of self, and to make Black history accessible and meaningful to a wider community. This year Wavemaker Roots are provoking our Wavemakers to engage and learn about Black British History, through daily digital postcards, a four part podcast series, candid conversations and fireside chats with prominent black icons within the industry.

Often the history taught in schools focuses on slavery and Black American history, omitting all the amazing things Black people have done throughout history. This month we’ll be taking everyone on a journey of discovery, education and growth, whilst celebrating all the amazing things that encompass being Black, British and proud!
