We will be discussing what everyone has been looking at for Black History Month alongside our upcoming publication.

2. Trusadh Series 14.1. Afro-Gaidheil. Link here
   Singer Cass Ezeji takes a journey to meet Gaelic speakers of African heritage. As a young woman with roots in Nigeria and Scotland, she felt disconnected from the Gaelic communtiy growing up. Though she speaks the language fluently, she’s never been sure of her identity within the Gaelic world.
   
   
   We also have a newly selected book. Titled, My Grandmothers Hands by Resmaa Menakem & is available to buy from bookshop.com for £9.25 here Please let us know if you need financial assistance in purchasing this book. We also have 1 copy available to loan from our Anti-Racist Community Library (fortnightly on Saturdays in Millennium Park.)
   

About the book:

My Grandmother's Hands is an extraordinary call to action for all of us to recognize that racism affects not only the mind, but also the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our racial divides.

Please feel free to come along and listen even if you have not engaged with our chosen material as it can still be a great experience to hear people talk about what they've learned.
