Black History is American History!
The beauty of Black History is that it has happened since the beginning of time and Black Americans continue to make their mark in both seen and unseen ways each and every day.
All February long -and beyond- LifePoints will be honoring Black artists, writers, poets, and culture to celebrate the most influential Black voices of American history.
Do you have a story to tell? Enjoy our celebration and engage with our community by following our Black History posts on social media:

Harbin's annual festival is officially the biggest winter festival in the world. Located in China's most northerly province, it has earned the self-explanatory title of 'Ice City'
The festival is made of ice installations and snow statues lit up with rainbow lights towards the evening....including a giant Buddha made of snow!! The temperatures average is normally at -7°C during the day, but sink to -20°C at night.
We love to dream about places we've never visited and we hope to start travelling again soon!
