Christabel Chinonso U worked as a social care nurse when she first came to the UK from Nigeria in 2022. Keen to boost her confidence and be a positive influence, she participated in a Florence Nightingale Foundation leadership programme for social care nurses from global majority backgrounds. To mark Black History Month, we are proud to share Christabel’s story.

Four weeks of recognition, celebration and awareness raising of black culture helps us appreciate its incredible contribution to the cultural richness of our world. Our workplaces have benefited too, but not always at the individual level.
