Black History Month
Black History Month celebrates cultural diversity and liberty by shining a light on the individuals who have changed the course of history to educate and empower others.
We know how important to have support that reflects you, opportunities to meet likeminded people and build meaning connections so we are proud to share and promote the new Black Experience Guide.
This guide brings together insights, experiences, and recommendations from Black students and staff, offering tailored suggestions on places, services, and communities across Liverpool. It aims to reduce barriers linked to unfamiliarity and help students feel more connected, supported, and confident in their environment.
The guide has been created and developed by many key stakeholders across the university as well as us at JMSU. Through this partnership, the inclusion of staff perspectives was also prioritised, recognising the importance of representation. This ensures that students can see themselves reflected within the university community, while also enabling staff to access resources and recommendations that resonate with their lived experiences and identities.
The guide forms part of a growing suite of community-led resources designed to reflect and celebrate the diversity of LJMU and JMSU. Upcoming guides will focus on neurodivergent students, LGBTQ+ students, and Northern Irish students, among others. If you want to know more or get involved email us at studentvoice@ljmu.ac.uk
