Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom and progress towards equity 🎉 On this day in 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Texas finally received the news of their emancipation—a profound moment. While Juneteenth marks a pivotal step in the abolition of slavery, it reminds us that the journey toward true equity and inclusion is ongoing. As we commemorate this historic milestone, let's also reflect on the DEI work that still lies ahead.

Helping wicked smart leaders elevate their leadership results while reducing stress and embracing their own unique strengths to gain meaningful success.
Juneteenth marks the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally received news of their freedom. It's a day of celebration, but also a stark reminder of the long road to equality. Freedom for some did not mean freedom for all. The legacy of slavery continues to shape our nation, and the fight for true justice continues today. We must acknowledge the past, its pain, and its resilience. We must use this day to reflect on the ongoing struggle for racial equity. How can we be better allies? How can we dismantle the systems that perpetuate inequality? Let Juneteenth be a day of resolve. Let's recommit ourselves to building a more just and equitable future for all. #Juneteenth #BlackLivesMatter #Equality ✊
