Welcome to the 214th episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast. Welcome to October and it is of course Black History Month in the UK. This year’s theme is Saluting our Sisters.
This year, Black History Month will be dedicated to honouring the achievements of Black women who are often forgotten heroines. The aim is to amplify their voices and challenge the systems that oppress them.
