✨ Today, we honor Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of Black resilience, liberation, and the continued fight for justice. On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
We celebrate this day as a moment to reflect, uplift, and recommit to building a future rooted in equity and justice.
