Genita, what does Black History month mean to you?

Each October, Black History Month is celebrated across the UK to honour the rich history and legacy of African and Caribbean communities that have helped to shape society.
Moneycorp is a multinational organisation and we’re proud to have a diverse workforce and network.
To celebrate Black History Month, we're shining a light on some of our amazing employees and getting their take on what Black History Month means to them.
It is a time to encourage and engage the opportunity and allows for a deeper understanding of Black stories, the elevation of Black voices, and the recognition of individuals who have left a lasting impact on our culture and history.
Janaya, what does Black History Month mean to you?
For me, Black History Month is an opportunity to educate people on a topic they wouldn't ordinarily pay attention to. Since the incident with George Floyd, people have become a lot more aware of the struggles faced by ethnic minorities. I think it's important to keep the momentum going and Black History Month is an opportunity to reinforce lessons learnt. It is a time to ensure that the achievements and values of the Black race are celebrated, and ensure that the next generation is given the same opportunities as their counterparts from different races.
The world has also become a global village, and the history of the Black race must continue to be brought to the forefront. I would love to one day see that people are not judged or prejudiced for the colour of their skin and that Black people can escape the negative stereotypes that have been placed on them over the years.

Here's our top picks!
My dad is my ultimate inspiration. As a person of color who has endured discrimination within the workforce and daily life, I have seen him overcome every obstacle in his path. His words of advice have been to always strive for excellence, work hard every day, and never let anyone take advantage of you. As a single parent, he taught me how to be strong in the face of adversity and emerge victorious.
Who inspires you?
My daily endeavor involves being a source of inspiration for my son, hoping that he embodies the strong-willed and stands out in any minority setting. I like to think all generations have this goal in mind for the next generation to come. By setting a positive example, I aspire to surpass the achievements of our ancestors and create a path that enables the youth to strive for greater accomplishments.
How do you see yourself as a role model in the Black community?
The entire African American culture is inspirational. The fight for rights and equality and understanding of the strong-willed cultural heritage that has been fought for by previous generations will continue to shape the future as we continue and strive for improvement.
What inspires you?
BHM is an inspiration to us of those who have made an impact in the world we live in. It is a time to celebrate, learn and understand the value black history has brought to this country. Often left and forgotten, black history deserves to have a spotlight in history.

Good allyship in the workplace is all about being there for your colleagues who face marginalisation. It means using your privilege to support and uplift their voices. It involves actively listening to their experiences, validating their feelings, and taking action to address any biases or discrimination you witness.
It's about being a true advocate and ally, standing up for what's right, and working together to create a more inclusive and equitable work environment.

Regardless of their appearance, beliefs, or gender, every employee experiences a sense of safety, support, and appreciation in their workplace.
What does good allyship look like in the workplace?
My inspiration comes from my parents. Having two strong black parents who helped raise me to understand life is not fair so I will need to work ten times harder to get to where I want to go. They both have shown that through their drive and passion for success as well as education that it is possible to be respected, impactful and black. As both are retired now, I am reminded of the hard work they have done throughout their years and cherish the values they have instilled me ay such a young age.
