Hello Friends! It is Black History Month in the US ♥️. To us, this month is incredibly important. Every year we find the dialogue about our shared history is getting richer. Are there plenty of concerns? Yes, there are. Opportunities to act? Yes, there are. And in the current focus our personal understanding of the ongoing contributions to all that we are together increases, and the world – at least the one close to us – gets better and becomes fuller. #thankyou
