Typically communication is key, the power of the written word is something we harp on, but right now there’s nothing I can say to contribute to the importance of celebrating Black History Month.
This is a time for us to learn, to listen and to think, so that we can do better. I believe it’s important to see where we’ve come from in order to realize how far we need to go, which is why our family will commit to watching valuable programming together, with our kids, talking about ways we can be a part of change.
As professional communicators we are always working to reach specific audiences, but as humans we want to do life with all audiences. We long to know and understand other cultures and to be a part of a movement that values everyone in society regardless of everything that’s different. We are better together, valuing the things that make us different.
I hope you’ll join us, as we celebrate Black History Month. If you don’t have content to absorb, here’s a few options, https://www.pbs.org/articles/2021/02/celebrate-black-history-month-2021/.
