Today, we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that marks the end of slavery. On this day in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and proclaimed that all enslaved individuals were free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. As we reflect on this significant milestone, let us: 1. Educate: Share the history of Juneteenth with your network. Let's ensure that everyone understands the importance of this day. 2. Amplify Voices: Lift up Black creators, influencers, and activists. Their perspectives and contributions matter. 3. Support Black-Owned Businesses: Use your platform to promote Black-owned businesses and organizations. Economic empowerment is essential. 4. Take Action: Encourage your followers to support relevant causes and initiatives. Concrete action matters more than empty gestures. 5. Celebrate Culture: Celebrate African American culture and history thoughtfully and respectfully. Remember, Juneteenth is a time for reflection, education, and progress. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #DEI #FreedomDay

If you’re looking to make a change to honour Black History Month, there are some great ways to go about it. For example, consider: - Intentionally supporting Black-owned businesses (through Google, you can find a database of companies in your area); - Getting involved with your organization's Black or POC ERGs - it’s likely they will have programming throughout the month and also need active allies throughout the year; - Adding Black authors to your reading list (here are some for consideration that we enjoyed: https://ow.ly/RUTN50QwBsX) - Educating your kids by getting them involved in fun Black History Month activities (here are some great ones: https://ow.ly/FIbK50QwBsW) #makeachange #blackhistorymonth #awareness #DEI #inspireinclusion

#BlackHistoryMonth is upon us! While I am not of Black descent, I know there are many things I can do to honor and celebrate Black History Month as an ally: ✨ Uplift Black voices–you can do this by sharing and interacting with their content. You'd be surprised how much commenting on a post can boost its reach! ✨ Support Black-owned businesses. What if you bought that product from a Black-owned store instead of Amazon? Or what if you tried a new-to-you Black-owned restaurant for dinner instead of your regular chain? And don't limit this to just February! ✨ Brush up on your DEI knowledge. Learn to spot anti-Blackness, fully understand what microaggressions are and why they're problematic, and find the tools you need to stand up to racism. ✨ Acquaint yourself with Black history and what it means to be Black in America today. Visit a museum, read books by Black authors, or attend a Black History Month event. I am so proud to have started this month off with Chicagoland Apartment Association's first DEI Committee of 2024! This is a cause close to my heart that champions diversity of all kinds, including the Black community, to be supported, uplifted and strengthened within the multifamily community. I'd love to know how you're celebrating Black History Month! Let me know in the comments below. #DEI #multifamily #inclusionmatters #allyship #ally #supportblackownedbusinesses #yourmulitfamilymarketer
