Honoring Juneteenth: A Day of Freedom and Reflection Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a significant milestone in American history that marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Juneteenth is not just a day of celebration but also a time for reflection on our history, acknowledging the struggles and resilience of African Americans. It reminds us of the importance of equality, justice, and the continuous fight against racial injustice. As we honor this day, let's commit to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplaces and communities. Let’s listen, learn, and support one another to create a future where everyone can thrive. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #DiversityAndInclusion #Equality #JusticeForAll

Last week, I attended a facilitated session focused on developing a racial equality kitemark, an initiative that I believe is essential for our community, which already has a foundational framework in place. However, as I reflect on the discussions and the sentiments expressed during the session, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of unease about the readiness of our Black community to embrace genuine change. Each day, I hear the passionate cries of our people as they highlight the myriad issues we face, yet there seems to be a pervasive reluctance to actively engage in the transformative work necessary to effect real progress. This dissonance is particularly disheartening when I consider the older generation, those who have valiantly paved the way for us, yet often seem to cast blame outward rather than taking ownership of their role in our community's evolution. As I work closely with our youth, I find myself questioning what kind of example our community leaders have set for them to emulate — are their actions truly reflective of the change they advocate for, or are they trapped in an endless loop of complaint without constructive direction? During the kitemark meeting, I ultimately decided to leave, as I sensed a disconnect between the values upheld by those present and my own deeply held beliefs about accountability and proactive engagement. So I ask, when will we collectively choose to stop merely lamenting our circumstances and start taking meaningful action? We are fully aware of the challenges that face us; what’s required now is a unified commitment to tackling those challenges head-on, moving beyond rhetoric and into a space where we can all contribute to the change we so desperately seek.
