Our people had been freed almost 2 ½ years before they learned about it on June 19th in Galveston, Texas.
Two and a half years!
While Juneteenth is a day to celebrate our independence, it’s also a day to reflect. We repeat what we do not learn.
I believe with every fiber of my being that we are currently living during a grand awakening, a grand cleansing, and a grand rising. It is our time! We only must own it.
I don’t’ want us to wait years before we, Black people, realize that we had the power all along to free ourselves from feeling and being powerless. It’s time for us to use our voices, our dollars, our power of choice to free ourselves instead of waiting for others to free us or waiting for them to treat us fairly while they keep us captive.
It is our time, Fam! Let’s build and build up within the community. It’s time!
Peace + Love,
Randi
