As Black History Month kicks off, we’re revisiting an important conversation from 2021 about what this month means to us and how we celebrate it as mothers and lifelong learners.

In this episode, Kaanji and Tara reflect on the significance of Black History Month, how we approach it in our families, and the ways we can ensure it’s not just a once-a-year event but an ongoing journey of learning and appreciation.

We discuss:
✔️ Why Black History Month still matters today for all of us, regardless of ethnic and cultural backgrounds
✔️ Ways to celebrate and engage
✔️ The importance of representation
✔️ How we can move beyond performative gestures to real education and action.

Whether you’re a longtime listener or tuning in for the first time, this episode is a great reminder that Black history is American history.
