October is Black History Month
Throughout the month of October, MSV Housing will be celebrating Black History Month, and shining a light on the extraordinary and outstanding work black people have contributed to society and across the globe throughout history.
We will be raising awareness about important topics.
Health & Wellness
This year’s Black History Month theme is Black Health and Wellness, this focuses and celebrates the contributions and breakthroughs of black professionals as well as speaks to the cultural richness of “non-traditional” health and wellness practitioners.
Here at MSV we take Black History Month and Health and Wellness seriously, our colleagues will be sharing their insights into what Black History Month means to them throughout October on all our platforms.
Black History Month is a time of reflection and celebration, an opportunity to reflect on key moments, support multiculturalism and diversity and the communities shaping them. It also highlights the inequalities which exist, working towards shaping a better future for all.
Events & Celebration
We will also be celebrating in person with you for a Reggae Brunch and Bhangra banquet with music and fun activities for children.
