Young and Gifted! That’s what we’re all at the start. Don’t allow it to be different for Black people!

"Though it be a thrilling and marvellous thing to be merely young and gifted in such times, it is doubly so—doubly dynamic—to be young, gifted and black." Lorraine Hansberry

Black History Month (BHM) is for me an opportunity to learn and connect. Learn about achievements and challenges faced by Black people and connecting during the various BHM events celebrating the history, often forgotten or untold. Working in the library helps me do this beyond October.
