Black History Month is celebrated in October in the UK. It provides an opportunity to reflect on British history, from the pain of slavery, colonisation and ongoing racism to the celebration of resilience, diversity and achievements of black people’s hope and aspirations.  It is vital to share and appreciate one's identity in order to stop one-sided or even false narratives by others. This month is the time to reaffirm the black community's contribution to our society and lives.  The EBE Network Podcast is delighted to dedicate this episode to Black History Month. We are grateful to our amazing panellists for sharing their perspectives on what Black History Month means to them.

This episode is hosted by Jason Thomas-Fournillier with panelists Catherine Lebadou, Mercy Okpebholo Ray and Darlington Okpebholo Ray.
