Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history. Most individuals are aware of the festivities and history surrounding Independence Day. However, when the United States was free in 1776, enslaved Black people were not. In reality, it took another 87 years for Black people to be recognized as free. Even yet, it took another two years for freedom, after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation for the final enslaved individuals to be released in Galveston, Texas. First flown in 2000, the Juneteenth flag symbolizes freedom over slavery. As the longest-running African American holiday, Juneteenth is an important holiday where communities come together to acknowledge the injustices that Black Americans endured but also to celebrate their rich cultures and accomplishments since then. It is a celebration of the journey and independence of Black people in the United States, as well as an excellent occasion to recognize the many contributions that Black people have made to American culture.

The racist stereotypes of The Angry Black Woman and The Strong Black Woman are slowly KILLING Black women in America. That is not my opinion. That is a historical and statistical FACT that I talk about in my new book Protecting My Peace. Black women are TIRED of this! I, for one, am totally exhausted. 😞 It gives me hope to see a young Black Queen 👑 supporting another young Black Queen!! 👑 I really need friends like THIS because the road on this journey is hella lonely… Radical women require real defenders. I’m wishing for some real defenders in my life in 2024. 🤞🏽 “Heavy is the head that chose to wear the crown.” - Kendrick Lamar
