Pride (noun): confidence and self-respect as expressed by members of a group, typically one that has been socially marginalized, on the basis of their shared identity, culture, and experience. “Pride is a celebration of the battles that have been fought and won, and a reminder to all in the community that there is support for the fights yet to come.” Associate Creative Director Joe W. said about this artwork that commemorates the Stonewall Uprising which took place in June of 1969. “Honoring Pride in the month of June pays tribute to those who stood up against oppression and brutality for the sake of all in the community.”

Daya Houston will be closed on June 19 in honor of Juneteenth. 💪❤️ Join us instead, by reflecting on the intersections of Black and South Asian activism through our latest blog "Embracing Juneteenth: A South Asian Perspective on Solidarity and Belonging." The author explores the historical ties between our communities' struggles for liberation, from the Civil Rights Movement's impact on the 1965 Immigration Act, to Black revolutionaries rejecting colonialism. It reminds us that our oppressions are interlinked across race, caste, religion, gender and sexuality. As we honor Juneteenth, we recommit to dismantling oppressive systems, amplifying Black voices, and fostering dialogue to drive meaningful racial justice. Read the full piece and share your thoughts. How can we embody Juneteenth's spirit of collective belonging? Let's engage in this crucial conversation. https://lnkd.in/g6D_UpTy #Juneteenth #SolidarityInAction #BlackSouthAsianUnity #DismantelingOppression #AmplifyingVoices #RacialJustice #IntersectionalActivism #CollectiveBelonging #CrucialConversations #LiberationMovements #HistoricalTies #CivilRights #DecolonizingMinds #UnityAcrossIdentities #JourneyToEquity #DayaHouston

Celebrate Freedom: Happy Juneteenth! Today, we honor Juneteenth, a significant day in American history marking the end of slavery.

Today, we are dedicated to ending modern slavery and human trafficking, ensuring that freedom and dignity are upheld for all. Together, let's reflect on the past, recognize the progress made, and recommit to creating a future where freedom and equality are truly universal. Join us in commemorating Juneteenth by reaffirming our shared values of liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness for every individual.

Many people wonder why those who don't live in Texas are celebrating Juneteenth. However, you don't have to be a resident of Texas to appreciate the significance of Juneteenth and what it represents. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. While it originated in Texas, marking the day when the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the state were finally freed, its message and importance extend far beyond the borders of a single state. Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, equality, and the triumph of the human spirit over oppression. It is a day for all Americans to reflect on the painful history of slavery, acknowledge the ongoing struggle for racial justice, and commit to building a more equitable society. So while Juneteenth may have its roots in Texas, its relevance and impact are felt nationwide. People across the country can and should join in honoring this pivotal moment in American history and the values it represents. Celebrating Juneteenth is a way to show solidarity, educate ourselves about our shared past, and work towards a future of greater understanding and unity.

BLACK BEAUTY: DEI commemorations can be tricky, with a million and one ways to tick people off. Often the tactics deployed to celebrate a race/ethnicity come across as patronizing (nachos for Hispanic Heritage Month anyone?) or inadequate. At MLKCH, a safety-net hospital in an underserved area, we have limited resources so we can't go big. Instead, we want to go deep. We now commission nationally-known artists or design agencies to create an art-quality poster for us for each of the big three heritage months. During #blackhistorymonth , the talented artist Lillian Hu referenced the Kente and Kuba cloth of West and Central Africa, as well as historic African American quilting, to create a modern design that is both subtle and reverent in its celebration of the African diaspora. This kind of approach stops to appreciate in a more authentic way the wonderful people who make up our majority-non-Caucasian staff. These posters are so popular that we are now raffling framed versions off to staff. In short, forget about big. Go deep.
