The annual Glazia Black History Month celebration is back! Not only is February celebrated as the month of love, but it is also globally recognized as Black History Month. An annual celebration where Black people across the globe are recognized, and loudly applauded for their contributions to humanity.
For us at Glazia, we choose to look forward, and honour Nigerians (home and abroad) who are making the nation proud, flying the flag high, and building lasting legacies. This recognition spans multiple fields of relevance, ranging from technology to medicine, business, fashion, finance, entertainment, and many more.
