February 2026 marks 100 years of formally celebrating Black history in the U.S.
A whole century of finally saying out loud: this matters.
And I just want to say to my Black American friends and fam’: thank you.
For your friendship, your honesty, your humour, your patience…
and for everything you’ve taught me — from the deep and meaningful…
to driving on the wrong side of the road, or casually skipping the “U” in words.
As a London girl with seasoned Ghanaian roots raising two beautiful Black tri-continental daughters, I’m always learning — and always in awe of the joy, brilliance, and strength that keeps showing up in you all… even now.
For this extra special month (and yes, February has 365 days in 2026), I’m celebrating you.
I’m grateful for you.
