Why it gotta be blue in black history month?

As Ireland becomes increasingly diverse and attracts people from all around the world, it is critical to pause and reflect on the contributions that African and Caribbean communities have made.

Black History Month and the month of October is also a very important month for us in GORM.

GORM’s DNA and our mission to unify across differences was born out of magnifying and celebrating ethnically diverse voices and their intersections, by challenging prejudice through intercultural initiatives.

But did you also know that even our name, GORM, is tied to Black Irish history?

On this Black History Month, we want to share why we picked GORM to represent us.
