Elizabeth’s BHM Staff Picks
Black History Month (BHM) is a time to tap into the guidance of ancestors - connecting with their wisdom reminds us of our roots, and all we can be grounded in. Reminding us to dream, reimagine, how to celebrate, and to honor. This season, the Elizabeth’s staff are choosing to focus on the roots of Blackness. The roots of all we have come to appreciate about arts, music, culture, science, and literature are rooted in the expression and expertise of Black people, culture, and community - click here to view our BHM Staff Picks.
