OCTOBER 4: The Stories That make A commUnity
Using lived experience to celebrate our communities, share their stories and build greater understanding.
Every community has a story, but that story is rarely made up only of the moments that find their way into history books. It is shaped through ordinary lives, shared experiences and the influence people have on one another.
As we continue Honouring Our Communities this October, we’re looking at the stories that become part of our shared history and why making space for them matters. Read the full blog to explore how the lives we’re living today are becoming the community stories of tomorrow.

Black History Month: The Audacity To Occupy Space: Reimagining Leadership Through an Equity Lens

This webinar explores the structural and cultural conditions that determine who is seen as a leader, and challenges how institutions define, reward, and retain leadership. It asks what it takes to occupy leadership spaces when they were not designed to be inclusive especially for racially marginalised people and what must change within organisations to make leadership genuinely equitable.
This session is not about ‘inviting’ people into leadership. It’s about interrogating the gatekeeping practices, racialised expectations, and hierarchies of legitimacy that shape who gets to lead and how they are treated when they do.
