Black History Month - In Their Words - Dr. Nwebube

Black History Month is an opportunity for our hospital, all organizations and all individuals across the country, to recognize and honour the past and present contributions of Black Canadians. Throughout the month we will be sharing stories from our staff and physicians as they reflect on what Black History Month means to them.

Black History Month is very important to me, as it is a time to:

Reflect, appreciate and honour the legacy of Black People in Canada and around the world. 

Acknowledge the injustice of slavery and colonialism with the ongoing work needed to correct inequities.

Celebrate our heritage, bringing attention and awareness to the priceless contributions that Black People have made throughout history.

I view Black History Month as a way to empower and encourage future generations.
