Reclaiming narratives

This year’s Black History Month theme, ‘Reclaiming Narratives’. It emphasises the role of Black accountants within the accountancy profession in raising and shaping their own stories and histories.

This theme is particularly poignant as it highlights the opportunity to challenge and develop traditional narratives within the accountancy profession.

By listening to, recognising and valuing the unique insights and achievements of its Black members, the profession can not only become more inclusive, but also attract and support talent through authenticity and in the elevation of the achievements of its Black members who are showcasing  their expertise and contribution.

This theme is crucial in breaking down barriers and creating a more equitable profession where diverse perspectives are valued, understood and celebrated.
