Celebrating Black History Beyond October: A Commitment to Year – Round Inclusion

Honouring the achievements, contributions, and rich hertitage throughout our nations history

At Cnect Wales, our dedication to diversity and inclusion goes beyond statements – it is a continuous mission that drives everything we do. As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognise the importance of honouring this heritage in October, but we also recognise that creating meaningful change requires more than a single month of focus. It’s about fostering a lasting commitment to inclusivity that spans the entire year.

In a recent conversation between Sandra Busby and Christine Allen, the evolving nature of Black History Month and the challenges still faced by the Black community were front and centre. Christine shared insights from her own journey, highlighting her early involvement in educational workshops, witnessing changes in media, and recognising product inclusivity in mainstream markets. These changes reflect progress, but there is still work to be done.

At Cnect Wales, we believe that recognising the contributions and experiences of the Black community must be woven into our daily lives – not just celebrated once a year. Black history is an integral part of our shared history, and our responsibility is to ensure these stories are visible in our curriculum, our media, and our workplaces. Greater representation, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of society are essential for genuine, long-lasting change.

As an organisation, Cnect Wales is committed to supporting policies and initiatives that empower the Black community. We actively seek partnerships with businesses and community organisations to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in every facet of our work. By creating a culture of respect and acknowledgment, we aim to set a standard within our own practices and inspire others to join us in making these values a priority.

Our vision is an environment where the vibrant stories, contributions, and culture of the Black community are recognised and celebrated every day. We invite everyone in our community to join us in embracing this journey of continuous learning, understanding, and celebration – not just in October, but throughout the year.

Let’s make Black history a part of our ongoing story.
