🌟 Education & Awareness: Breaking Barriers for Black Veterans 🇺🇸✊🏿 As we honor Black History Month, let's shine a light on the unique challenges faced by Black veterans, including transportation barriers. Did you know that Black veterans often encounter significant obstacles in accessing essential services due to transportation limitations? 🚌 According to recent statistics, Black veterans are disproportionately affected by transportation challenges compared to their counterparts. This Black History Month, let's address these disparities and work towards equitable solutions. By raising awareness and advocating for improved transportation services, we can ensure that all veterans, regardless of race, have equal access to the support they need. Let's honor the legacy of Black veterans by breaking down barriers and building a more inclusive future together. #BlackHistoryMonth #VeteransSupport #TransportationEquity #InclusiveCommunity #SupportOurVeterans 🌟

Hi everyone, my name is Kendra Peoples and I am so thrilled to be here with you today as a social work intern at Consulting and Counseling with Rachel. This semester I will be focusing on supporting veterans, important professionals in all of our communities. I have personal connections with military personnel and I look forward to supporting military professionals so that they can have a fulfilling life when they become veterans. I'd like to begin with this Black History Month, which shedding light and spotlighting the incredible contributions that Black veterans, in particular those who were social workers, who have championed mental health and social needs. From breaking down barriers to ensuring access to vital resources, these unsung heroes have made lasting impacts on our communities, recognizing the critical role that mental health plays in our overall well-being. Stay tuned for insights and inspiration for the remainder of Black History Month. And stay tuned as I explore the more current means of our veterans in the states of Tennessee and Mississippi in particular around transportation needs. Please like and share this page to stay up to date and I look forward to talking with you soon.

Did you know that African Americans have played an important part in the history of cooperatives? African Americans have used cooperation as an effective tool against discrimination, and mutual aid societies founded by African Americans were some of the first documented cooperatives in America. From the Underground Railroad to the Colored Farmers’ National Alliance and Co-operative Union, cooperatives became an important source for civil rights activism which in turn created more cooperatives. During February, we celebrate Black History Month, but it's important to appreciate the resilience and richness of Black culture year-round. Check out these articles for more on the contributions African Americans have made to cooperative history: https://lnkd.in/gzx5557S https://lnkd.in/dpVPemPb
