Profile: Mia Morris

Although we are coming to the end of the 20th anniversary of black history month, there is still so much that can be said about a renewed sense of focus about black history in the UK. One of the key advocates of this thinking is Mia Morris (pictured)Mia is the founder of the Well Placed Consultancy, providing training, consulting, coaching and speaking. In her own words she says”Our aim is to build self esteem, increase personal effectiveness, and encourage risk taking and challenges, which will enable the individual to progress their career prospects.”

And so….

And so as Black History Month approaches,
my mind goes out once again to our youth.
With a media hell bent on reporting only knife and gun crime,
the constant digestion and regurgitation of subversive entertainment on channels which are nothing but BASE,
I salute the men and women who dedicate their energies and attentions to capturing the receptive minds of our future empoweing them to a higher plane.
Reminding us of where we came from, so we can know where we are going
Celebrating our successes, the glue that binds together a somewhat fractured community
Elevating the positive, reminding those battered by miseducation and misguidance, that their is a path less trodden which
When followed can produce fathers and mothers with a sense of identity,
that is passed wholly on to a generation,
breaking the legacy of negativity that is so pervasive and for some gives a false sense of pride
It’s more than a month, we should be making Black History every day
and so, it’s over to you now champions
over to you
