Juneteenth is a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. This is a day that is not only significant for the Black community, but for all Americans who value justice, equality, and freedom.

As we celebrate Juneteenth and its meaning, we are uplifted by the resilience of our forebears and their relentless fight for freedom. While acknowledging the scars left by centuries of slavery and oppression, we are also reminded of the remarkable progress that has been achieved through their perseverance and determination, and collaboration. Juneteenth serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring us to continue the pursuit of justice and equality for all.

As human beings, our brains process around 70,000 thoughts every single day.  The vast majority of those thoughts remain unconscious with very few making it into our consciousness for consideration.  With that said, we all suffer from unconscious biases.  All of us.  Everything we’ve ever seen, heard, read, or experienced goes into the mix.  Let us root out all of the bad data operating in our subconscious, challenge it and intentionally replace it with a variety of new experiences.

To truly achieve a more perfect union, we must broaden our perception of community to include everyone.  Hearts. Minds. Action.  Let’s direct our energy and time to building a place we can all live happily and freely together.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we invite you all to join us in the spirit of learning, laughing, and celebrating together. Together, we can create a brighter future where every individual has an opportunity to thrive and prosper. 

Let Juneteenth be a catalyst for positive change and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
