My book recommendation for #BlackHistoryMonth - 'This Is Why I Resist: Don't Define My Black Identity' by Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu. Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu has made major contributions to race equality, combating discrimination, and promoting diversity and inclusion at national and international level. Her 2021 book This Is Why I Resist holds a mirror up to White Privilege. The book’s repeated message ‘We Can’t Breathe’ emphasises the urgency of action and the need for White people to take responsibility for their own learning about equality and social justice matters. #SalutingOurSisters #BlackHistoryMonth2023
