Meet Jordin Rojas, an Attollo Scholar from Ephrata, Class of 2025! 🎓 Jordin’s journey has been shaped by her growing connection to the Latinx community—a community that she initially had little access to. Through meaningful friendships and guidance from mentors who have shared similar experiences, Jordin has found a sense of belonging and comfort within herself. These relationships have given her the confidence to embrace her identity, reminding her of the power of cultural understanding and support. Her story is a testament to the importance of community, mentorship, and representation. #LatinxHeritage #CelebracionDeLaCultura #Attollo #LatinxLeaders #CommunityImpact #CulturaConOrgullo #LinkedInCommunity #Leadership

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history marking the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in Texas on June 19, 1865. This day honors the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, reminding us of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice. Recognizing Juneteenth encourages us to educate ourselves about the legacy of slavery, foster unity within our communities, and commit to building a more inclusive and equitable society. As we commemorate this day, let's reflect on our roles in creating a just world and work towards a future where everyone is truly free. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equity #Inclusion #Diversity #SocialJustice #Community
