As Black History Month comes to a close (this year marks its 100th anniversary!), I wanted to share this guide by Suveto celebrating Black History Month in veterinary practices, suggesting practices for offering allyship and creating spaces for reflection. This guide advocates for year-round inclusivity in veterinary practices by encouraging allyship, amplifying Black voices, and promoting representation to counter underrepresentation. It suggests actionable steps like creating educational displays, engaging in continuous self-reflection, and honoring historical pioneers in the veterinary care space.
