Here at Prophix, we will celebrate Black History Month by sharing with our employees a curated selection of books, virtual tours, recipes, and movies that honor Black history. We will also put up a few fun activities for you throughout February, so stay tuned for that!
We’ll promote family movies, such as Selma and Hidden Figures, that depict the lives of Black heroes. Our monthly book club has chosen to read The Skin We’re In by Desmond Cole. Cole’s book describes the struggle against racism in Canada during 2017, chronicling the author’s role as an activist and the impact of systemic racism in Canadian society.
We’ll have a guest chef teach an online cooking class with classic Black-inspired dishes. Hopefully this gets some ideas flowing as to what you can do for Black History Month, but I’d love to hear what you already have planned - even if it’s outside of the workplace!
