This October, Black History Month will focus on honouring and celebrating the achievements of black women.

The theme, 'Saluting Our Sisters', highlights the exceptional achievements of black women and their pioneering role in shaping history and inspiring change.

Black History Month (1-31 October 2023) will celebrate and shine a light on black women who have made invaluable contributions to all aspects of society, including literature, politics, business, sport, music, fashion, academia and healthcare.

"Success isn't about how much money you make. It's about the difference you make in people's lives." Michelle Obama
