Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day commemorating the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans in the United States. Yet freedom isn't a singular event or something we simply cross off a to-do list—it's a continuous fight. A fight for justice. A fight for equality. A fight to eliminate deeply rooted, systemic racism. As history has repeatedly shown us, no one is free until we are all free. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder that our liberation is intertwined, and we will only realize “a more perfect union” when we discard the hate, division, and animosity of yesterday so we can make room for the peace, justice, and healing our shared humanity deserves. Together, we can build a future when freedom rings true for everyone. It won’t be easy. There will be times when we feel like things aren’t improving, but step by step, we will move forward on our journey to a better, kinder, and more just tomorrow. #VLJNJ #Juneteenth #BlackLivesMatter #ProBono #CivilLegalAid #FreeLegalHelp #FreeLegalServices #NewJersey

Skilled office coordinator and community advocate with a strong commitment to organizational excellence and inclusivity.
August 1st, marks a pivotal moment in Canadian history with the enactment of the Slavery Abolition Act. This legislation profoundly impacted the lives of those enslaved and reverberates through generations to this day. It's a time to acknowledge the resilience of individuals and communities affected by slavery and to honor their enduring legacy. As we commemorate this significant day, I'm reminded of the recent Juneteenth celebrations and the powerful images attached, depicting moments of joy, liberation, and unity. These visuals serve as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice. Through my work with Black in Sask and other initiatives, I am dedicated to acknowledging and recognizing the historical and contemporary challenges faced by Black communities. It's crucial that we continue to educate, advocate, and amplify voices that have been marginalized or silenced. Let's use today not only to reflect on the past but also to commit ourselves to building a more inclusive and equitable future. Together, we can honor the legacy of resilience and forge paths toward justice and reconciliation. #CanadianHistory #SlaveryAbolition #Juneteenth #BlackInSask #SocialJustice #Equality
