    Today,we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal day in history marking the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Galveston, Texas, symbolizing freedom and hope for millions of African Americans. It is important to remember that Juneteenth is not only significant in the U.S. but also resonates deeply with the African diaspora, including here in Canada. Many of us Black Canadians tracrme our lineage to Sffics by way of slavery. This shared history underscores the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of Black communities across North America. As we commemorate Juneteenth, let’s reflect on the strides made towards equality and recognize the ongoing work required to address systemic racism and discrimination. It’s a day to celebrate the rich cultural contributions of the Black diaspora and commit to fostering inclusive, equitable communities. Happy Juneteenth to all! May we continue to learn from our past, celebrate our heritage, and build a future rooted in justice and equality. #Juneteenth #Emancipation #BlackHistory #Diaspora #Canada #Equality #Inclusion #Diversity

The fact that CIBC has sponsored Inclusive Design challenges at this scale for 4 consecutive years speaks incredibly about their tangible commitment to change. Stay tuned in the coming months to know how my commitment to Inclusion will also manifest in tangible ways.
