And the award for Best Black History Month goes to… Just kidding! But I’ve been reflecting on Black History Month and how businesses and workplaces can truly amplify Black voices and communities all year long. It often feels like everything gets crammed into one month, as if just “showing up” is enough. But what about the days that follow? I have a few thoughts, but let’s dive into just one… How many are willing to go beyond a standard panel discussion in October? The Black community has built incredible initiatives and spaces that bring people together, share culture, and create impact—and these deserve amplifying all year round. Take Room 187, for example—‘your accommodation for old school, hip hop, and slow jams,’ a game show that celebrates nostalgic R&B culture and community. Picture a night with Room 187 for your employee network. It’s an experience I’d co-sign in a heartbeat! There’s a sea of untapped opportunity here, far beyond a checkbox on the calendar. Let’s move past “showing up” and begin to truly tap in. #BHM #BlackCommunities #Room187 #BlackFounders #Prtyhere

?? DMAA is Celebrating Black History Month: Spotlight on Community Resilience! ??? This February, let's honor the rich history and enduring spirit of the Black community in the realm of multi-family housing. From vibrant neighborhoods to close-knit communities, African Americans have played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of shared living spaces. ?? Legacy of Unity: Multi-family housing has been a cornerstone for fostering unity and strength within Black communities. Through generations, families have created spaces that not only provide shelter but also serve as hubs for cultural preservation and communal support. ?? Architects of Change: Black leaders in housing have tirelessly worked to break barriers and build bridges. From visionary architects to dedicated advocates, their contributions have transformed the narrative, creating inclusive spaces that reflect the diversity and resilience of the Black experience. ?? Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers: As we celebrate the past, let's also acknowledge the present and look towards the future. By embracing diversity, fostering inclusion, and advocating for equitable housing, we can continue the legacy of community building and bridge the gaps in multi-family living. ?

Today marks the beginning of an incredibly important month - Black History Month! ?? It's a time for us to honor the achievements, contributions, and resilience of the Black community, both past and present. Those of you who know me know that I am passionate about promoting mental health and well-being, especially within the Black community.??? By destigmatizing mental health and fostering conversations around it, we can break down barriers and create a safe space for individuals to seek help and support. Recognizing and addressing the racial disparities in mental health care is crucial for the holistic well-being of the Black community. The remarkable resilience, brilliance, and innovation displayed by the Black community have enriched our society in countless ways. By acknowledging and celebrating these achievements, we inspire future generations and pave the way for even greater accomplishments. So let's embark on this month-long journey together, sharing stories, amplifying voices, and working towards a world that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusivity. Let us celebrate the achievements, raise awareness about mental health, and continue striving for positive change.?

???????????????????? ???? ?????????????????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ???? ???????? As we continue to celebrate Black History Month, we take a moment to reflect on our journey as an organisation and our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ava DuVernay’s, (Emmy Award, BAFTA Film and TV Award winner, actress, screenwriter and producer), powerful words resonate deeply with us: “???????? ????’???? ?????????????? ?????????? ??????????????????, ????’?? ?????? ?? ?????? ???? ??????????. ???? ???? ?? ?????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ?????? ???? ????.” At YMCA, we've recognised that diversity is not just about ticking boxes - it’s about creating a community where every individual is seen, heard, and valued. We acknowledge that our journey has not always been perfect. There have been times in our history where we may not have gotten things right, but we are committed to learning and evolving. Over the years, the YMCA as a whole has made strides towards becoming a more inclusive and equitable organisation. From reviewing our policies to ensuring that our programs are designed with diverse voices in mind, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels they belong. We understand that diversity enriches us, challenges us to think differently, and makes us stronger as a whole. This Black History Month, we honour the contributions of Black leaders, activists, and communities that have shaped our world, while also looking inward to ensure that we continue to uphold the values of respect, inclusion, and equality in all that we do. Let’s move beyond just checking boxes and embrace the reality that diversity is essential to who we are - today and every day. #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #YMCA

Every October organisations devote significant resources to programming events for Black History Month in order to recognise their black talent and demonstrate their continuing commitment toward race equity. As we enter another?BHM?we ask: how valuable is it? Earlier in the year we met with representatives from our Signatory organisations to explore the current value of BHM in supporting the experiences of black talent and the business strategy of each organisation.?In particular, we wanted to understand what is done well and valued by staff, and what could be considered more thoughtfully.?The discussions yielded a number of insights including: ?? A struggle to adequately address the complexity of the global black diaspora, spanning any number of complex categorisations.? ?? A lack of strategic direction from leadership as to what themes would best justify investment that supports the business objectives of the organisation.? ?? Where there is a ‘bottom up’ approach toward Black History Month, a concern that work is driven by passionate, but often more junior, staff, who may become disillusioned by a perceived lack of support and prioritisation. ?? Where organisations are unable to allocate budget to a dedicated programme, it falls to minority staff to drive conversations. Black colleagues may then feel a pressure to become the champion and educator on race.? ?? White leadership and other colleagues who are not of black heritage can feel that it is not their place to attend events, particularly when there are discussions about the need for safe spaces to discuss sensitive issues ?? Events can be a valuable opportunity for the small number of senior black leaders to have visibility with junior staff.? ?? It is hypocritical to celebrate black colleagues, whilst not establishing corresponding pipelines for their progression within the organisation. ?? Black History Month is not the right vehicle through which to drive cultural change.? It places too much strain on a single month and on black colleagues.?

As we step into Black History Month, let's take a moment to reflect on the immeasurable contributions and achievements of the Black community. This month serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience, innovation, and strength that have shaped our world. The stories of trailblazers who broke barriers and paved the way for generations - from inventors and leaders to artists and activists - were and always will be an integral part of our shared human narrative. By acknowledging the diversity of talents and perspectives, we enrich our workplaces, communities, and the global landscape. The stories of our ancestors contribute not only to cultural heritage but also serve as catalysts for positive societal and economic transformation. Studies consistently show that diverse and inclusive workplaces outperform their counterparts. By championing diversity in our teams and leadership, we foster innovation, creativity, and resilience. Embracing the talents and perspectives of the Black community isn't just the right thing to do; it's a strategy imperative for sustained organizational success. Beyond the workplace, supporting Black-owned businesses and initiatives is a powerful way to drive economic empowerment within communities. Investing in these enterprises contributes directly to job creation, economic development, and financial stability, creating a positive ripple effect for society at large. This #BlackHistoryMonth let's elevate the dialogue on the intersection of #BlackCulture, #SocialImpact, and #EconomicEmpowerment.
