Black History Month and the label of Black Excellence

Whether it’s about its relevance or the content shared, everyone has an opinion about Black History Month. How should we be marking it? Do Black communities need to take more ownership of what it looks like or entails? Publicist, cultural commentator and podcaster Marianne Sunshine, and project facilitator Ellis Eyo-Thompson join Richie to explore this.

What does Black Excellence mean to you? Are we too focussed on the wrong things when we define what excellence means? How does media impact how we perceive Black Excellence? Content & audience Insights researcher, and lecturer in media and marketing analytics Dr Ayesha Taylor-Camara, and founder of Black Excellence Network UK Serita Murray join Richie to discuss.

Richie also has a quick chat with founder and CEO of the UK Black Business Show, Dr Raphael Sofoluke to find out what to look forward at this year's event.
