Being Black in the Workplace
This event will bring together a range of experts to explore what it means to be black in the working environment. Our panel will be sharing their experiences, highlighting what change can and needs to be made whilst highlighting resources and organisation who have already started the journey of supporting young and black people in the UK to navigate the workplace.
#YoungAndBlack
Following the impact of COVID-19 on BAME people across the world, the echoes of tragedies such Windrush and Grenfell and culminating in the murder of George Floyd in the US, we launched the #YoungAndBlack campaign alongside, My Life My Say and The Diana Award, and activist, Jermain Jackman. The #YoungAndBlack campaign is a safe space to share, listen and learn from the experiences of young Black people.

Start the school year with this powerful Anti-Blackness/Anti-Racism professional development training opportunity!
Workshop Presenter:
Dr. Brian L. Wright, Award-winning Author and Associate Professor & Program Coordinator of Early Childhood Education, Department of Instruction and Curriculum Leadership, College of Education and Coordinator of the Middle School Cohort of the African American Male Academy at the University of Memphis
Entitled after the award-winning book, “The Brilliance of Black Boys” workshop will help educators, administrators, social workers/counselors, government officials, funders, and other educational equity stakeholders better understand and identify the promise, potential and possibilities of Black boys. For Black parents, families, and community members, it will be a refreshing reminder of the beauty and brilliance of our children and affirmation in the face of negative narratives and experiences with schools and other systems.
Drawing from a wealth of experience in early childhood education, Dr. Wright will present an asset- and strengths-based view of educating Black boys. This positive approach enables practitioners and school leaders to recognize, understand, and cultivate the diversity of social skills of Black boys in the early grades (Pre-K-3rd grade).
Two unique benefits are available to registrants only:
o Free electronic copies of select articles by Dr. Wright published in NAEYC’s Teaching Young Children Journal (usually only available to NAEYC members)
o Limited quantities of autographed copies of “The Brilliance of Black Boys”
This special workshop will provide practical skills and tools that can be put into practice right away including:
o Tangible illustrations of what is lost when Black boys are prevented from participating freely in boyhood, having to instead attend to adult and peer interactions and attitudes that view them as “bad boys” and “troublemakers”
o Classroom strategies to help young Black boys achieve their highest potential
o Other resources for supporting Black boys’ social-emotional development including a preview of “Black Boys are Lit” – an upcoming publication with a reading list of 300 authentic multicultural children’s books with Black boys as protagonist
“The Brilliance of Black Boys” is the fourth in a series of workshops as part of “Blacks, Believers & the Montessori Way” (BBMW) community awareness and empowerment campaign.
BBMW is sponsored by IMPACT LIVING Christian Center, a non-denominational faith community led by Black leaders, as a part of its planning process for opening Morning Glory Montessori, an all-boys, Afrocentric, Christian Montessori school in fall 2021. (www.impactlivingcc.org)

This workshop is made possible by a grant from the Sheltering Arms Foundation.

About this Event:
Black men are more likely to be hospitalised for their mental health than any other racial group in the UK. The deep-rooted stigma present both in the black community and among men, disrupts access to mental health services, leaving black men in positions of little to no support.
This online talk will also introduce our BMT four part workshop, commencing on Thursday 19th November over 4 weeks. You can sign up for this via our main Eventbrite page.

Black love is unique, because it can be different from everyone else’s experience. Black love means adapting, to one another and to the spaces you move through together. Black love is a fine balance of showing up and yielding space. It’s being available and present to really hear and support your partner, but it’s also understanding and making space for your partner to grow, change, and deal with existing in this world.
Black love is the ability to love your mate and be unapologetically black while celebrating black excellence. It’s the action of being proud of your heritage, hue, culture and having an unabashed pride along with it. Black love is a special kind of love due to the black experience and comes with its own unique aspects.
Black love is unapologetically loud and proud! We’re at a point in society where there are more positive examples of black love than ever before. It’s empowering! Our ancestors had restraints and restrictions put on how and who they could love. Now its time for us to show thw world tht we can love each other without suffrage.
