Juneteenth & Understanding the Juneteenth Flag
Juneteenth, observed on June 19, commemorates the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

The Juneteenth Flag tells a powerful story:
⭐ The White Star represents Texas, where Juneteenth began, and the freedom of African Americans across the United States.
🌟 The Burst Around the Star symbolizes a new beginning and the promise of a brighter future.

❤️🤍💙 The Red, White, and Blue Colors remind us that African American history is American history and that the descendants of enslaved people are an inseparable part of our nation’s story.

📅 June 19, 1865 marks a defining moment of liberation, resilience, and hope.
As we honor Juneteenth, may we remember the sacrifices of those who came before us, celebrate the progress that has been made, and continue working toward communities where freedom, opportunity, and justice are accessible to all.

📇 Flashback Friday!
I showed some Gen Zers a real Rolodex because they had never seen one before. Before smartphones, this little box held our entire network, business contacts, friendships, and relationships we intentionally built over time.
Technology has changed, but one thing hasn’t: relationships still matter.
What’s something from your generation that today’s young professionals have never seen or used? Share it in the comments!👇🏽
