Henna was founded by refugees and newcomers who are still trying to grasp the complex identities of this new place. Black History Month is an opportunity for all us to stop, listen, reflect and&nbsp; increase our awareness of each other. Our understanding of the past and contemporary histories of racialized&nbsp;Canadians beyond the headlines is crucial. It\u2019s also pivotal to finding a sense of community and belonging amongst the entirety of the Canadian mosaic. There\u2019s a long journey ahead to comprehend racialized identities in the North American cultural-political map. Despite the growing discussion during the last decades, racism, anti-immigration rhetorics, and discrimination are still part of today\u2019s reality.&nbsp;We reached out to a few of our Black friends to share their stories and experiences with our readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img
