Quote of the Month - February 2022

Happy Black History Month

February is black history month where we honor the incredible contributions that the African American community has made throughout U.S History , from civil rights leaders to artists, politicians, to inventors.

3 ways to honor Black History Month

1. Support Black Owned Businesses.

Unfortunately many black owned businesses still face structural racism, which poses a unique threat to their longevity and ability to serve their community needs. Check out Miiriya.com which showcases Black owned businesses in a range of categories.

2. Learn about Noteworthy Black Figures and their contributions, especially the Women.

Normally, Black History Month draws associations with well known figures like MLK and Rosa Parks, but there are many others to learn about.

3. Purchase, read, and share books by black authors

Add black authors to your reading list. There are so many things to learn through story telling, the history that racism played and also how to practice especially.

As always continue to Breedlove.
