GumGum Celebrates Black History Month in EMEA
October marks Black History Month in the UK and is also celebrated across several countries in the EMEA region. This month serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the lasting impact Black people and communities have contributed to society.
The theme for Black History Month 2024 is "Reclaiming Narratives". This theme highlights the importance of stories in shaping our understanding of the past, present, and future. It also encourages people to embrace, educate, and empower each other through the stories that shape our collective identity.
