Reclaiming Narratives: Celebrating Black History Month 2024 with GottaBe! Ethnic
October is here, and it’s time to celebrate Black History Month 2024! At GottaBe! Ethnic, we are excited to honor the Black British community and their incredible contributions to society.
This year’s theme, “Reclaiming Narratives,” calls attention to the importance of telling Black stories from Black perspectives—ensuring that the voices that have been overlooked are amplified and celebrated.
What Does “Reclaiming Narratives” Mean?
For centuries, Black voices have often been marginalised, their histories told through the lens of others. This year’s theme encourages us to reclaim those stories, ensuring that Black history is recognised and told accurately and authentically. It’s a powerful reminder of the need for Black people to have agency in shaping their narratives and celebrating their history.
At GottaBe! Ethnic, we believe that Black History Month is a time to reflect on the power of storytelling. It’s about recognising the Black community’s strength, brilliance, and resilience and ensuring their contributions to society are acknowledged and appreciated—on their own terms.
How We’re Celebrating Black History Month
Throughout October, we will share content highlighting the significance of reclaiming narratives. From the inspiring stories of Black pioneers and creatives to resources on how businesses can better engage with and support the Black community, we are committed to fostering education and awareness.
For those looking to gain a deeper understanding of Black culture and community engagement, our Black, Afro-Caribbean Audience Insights page offers valuable resources to help brands connect authentically with this audience.
Here’s what to expect from us this month:
- Educational content on Black history and key insights.
- Spotlights on influential Black voices in various industries.
- Guides on how to support and contribute to lasting change.
