Black History Month is held every October in Britain, and February in USA and Canada.

The aims are to:
- Promote knowledge of the Black History, Cultural and Heritage.
- Disseminate information on positive Black contributions to British Society.
- Heighten the confidence and awareness of Black people to their cultural heritage.

The origins of Black History Month goes back to 1926 when Carter G. Woodson, editor for thirty years of the Journal of Black History, established African Caribbean celebrations in America. It is still celebrated there in February each year. At times like this it reminds me to never give up!! You must continue on. …. It’s taking a dream and doing anything, risking everything, and stopping at nothing to make it a reality. Black History Month is a time to honour people who are strong role models, and thats why I tried to show you some of my big inspirations in life, my role models.
