Black History Month has been observed in the United States since 1976. Although the annual celebration is during February, amplifying Black voices, stories, and history is important year-round. The theme for 2022 is health and wellness, in honor of Black health care professionals in Western medicine as well as doulas, midwives, birthworkers, and herbalists practicing complementary ways of healing throughout the African Diaspora. I celebrate our InsightLA teachers of African descent, dedicated advocates of mindfulness training and well-being for all.
