We want to begin this message by thanking each and every one of you who have supported black and Irish so far. We would not be able to do our work without you.
A lot has changed since we began over 3.5 years ago. We need to change with it. Here is an update for you on Black and Irish and how we intend to operate going forward.
Our core focus will be advocacy, community and education. We believe in the power of our story and how it can change the narrative. We will recommence sharing experiences from the B&I community soon.
Advocacy will see us challenge racism and hatred and focus on building engagement in society. Community will see us bring people together, celebrate one another and aid integration. Education will see us work with schools and wider society on how we can create a more equal and inclusive Ireland.
We also understand the importance of media, creativity and representation. Those functions that black and Irish housed will now be run by
@bni_media_official and
@ftceire
Please reach out if you have any questions. We are happy to support you in any way we can!
