Congratulations. You’ve reached the end of the course. You have explored empathy as a professional and personal skill, heard personal stories, views and perspectives from Black contributors and learned how to be an anti-racism change maker.

Hopefully, you will now feel better positioned to have conversations between individuals about their British Black cultures, identity, and history, which can lead to productive discussions about anti-racism. We hope this course has informed, inspired, challenged and empowered you to become an active ally towards anti-racism.
