About this event
Enjoy events, activities, talks and much more - highlighting the significant contribution black people have made in Barnet, the UK and beyond. The theme for Black History Month UK 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” a powerful tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe.
You are invited to attend Gathered Voices: Words of Wisdom Rooted in Strength at Hendon library on Wednesday 8 October. This is a one-off creative writing and poetry workshop celebrating the voices, stories, and cultural legacy of older Black residents in Barnet.
This session invites participants to share their wisdom, memories, and lived experiences in a supportive, reflective space. Through guided writing, group discussion, and storytelling, we will co-create a powerful collective piece that honours the strength, identity, and pride of our elders.
No writing experience needed - just your voice and story.
