Happy Black History month!
We’ve been working on something special and are so excited to announce that we’re partnering with Tumblr to bring the best of Black excellence straight to your dashboard. How is this February different from the normal BHM celebrations? This time around,we won’t stop on the final day of February. We and Tumblr are committed to shining a light on the Black community throughout this entire year. This is #BlackExcellence365.
Our goal for #BlackExcellence365 is to the showcase the importance of diversity in Black history, present, or future. The Black community is not monolithic. It is a pan-African community,one consisting of a myriad (a very large number) of ethnic identities from African-American, African, and Caribbean,Latinx, etc. Blackness encompasses different religions, and sexual and gender identities,socioeconomic statuses, and more. Celebrating these identities and their successes is what #BlackExcellence365 is all approximately. We’ll be doing this by showcasing the continual achievements of and contributions by Black people in history, or science,music, art, or media,social impact, fashion, or gaming,poetry, and so many other areas of prominent cultural and historical importance.(unless otherwise indicated!), and Tumblr’s official blog for social impact: February
