🌟 Today, we honor Juneteenth, our country’s second Independence Day. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, declaring freedom for more than 250,000 enslaved Americans. This pivotal moment serves as a powerful reminder: none are free until we are all free. ✊🏾 Juneteenth is a critical time for all of us as it serves as a reminder that equality and justice in society isn’t a destination—it’s a journey we must continue to work toward every day. Recognizing Juneteenth and its importance is just the first step in that journey. We must continue to work toward the development of a society for all, and that is a journey that will require the efforts of all of us. At Project Good Apparel, we celebrate Juneteenth by reaffirming our commitment to fight for an inclusive and just future. Take a moment to honor this day by recognizing the ongoing journey toward true freedom and doing our part to make it a reality for everyone. #Juneteenth #SecondIndependenceDay #ProjectGoodApparel #NoneAreFreeUntilAllAreFree #EqualityForAll #DoGood #FreedomJourney #InclusiveFuture

🎇 Happy Independence Day! As we gather to celebrate our nation’s founding, let’s reflect on a core question: What makes America truly great? 🤔💡 #July4th #IndependenceDay On this day in 1776, our founders embarked on a bold experiment in democracy by declaring all people are created equal. This principle has guided us as a nation through more than two centuries of change. It’s a reminder that our strength comes from our commitment to freedom—for everyone. 🗽📜 Consider the early patriots, who dared to imagine a free America where every voice could be heard. From the abolitionists to the suffragettes to civil rights heroes, every generation has champions who have pushed us closer to fulfilling that original promise of liberty and justice for all. Isn’t that the heart of patriotism? ❤️ This July 4th, let’s honor our nation not just by looking back, but by looking forward. Let’s commit to ensuring that freedom and justice are not just ideals, but realities for all. As we enjoy today’s celebrations, let’s also ask ourselves: How can we contribute to making America live up to its highest ideals? 🌟🚀 #4thOfJuly #AmericanPride #FreedomAndJustice

I wanted to wish all of my professional peers a happy American Independence Day, and to remind everyone how lucky we are that our forefathers had the insights to lay the groundwork for where we are today. Nothing is perfect, and trials where freedom is, will strengthen. As professionsals, we begin each fiscal year with a new set of goals. Back in 1787, our forefathers did the same, and laid these out in what became the preamble of our Constitution. Essentially, the “objectives” of our governments foundation. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.". Take it to heart. Take it to work. Take it to sleep. These are critical objectives that we must strive to drive with passion in our work and home lives. Don’t tread on these objectives. Happy Independence Day!

Congratulations Cllr. Lilian Seenoi Barr of the Maasai tribe, Director of North West Migrants Forum and now the first black mayor in Northern Ireland! Mayor Seenoi-Barr comes from a family of Maasai leaders and works on human rights issues in Kenya and Northern Ireland. The most common topic in our “Difficult Conversations” workshop is the role of women as leaders in pastoralist cultures. Women have important, revered roles in these societies, but traditionally do not lead at the community-level. Our participants typically place great value on gender inclusion in leadership, so the pastoralist approach can seem in conflict. Such real or apparent conflicts are nuanced, and it takes time to unpack and understand one another. One of the goals of our Journeys is to provide the time and space required for deeper understanding and learning, which otherwise can be hard for leaders to find. These conversions can be uncomfortable, much like a 6-day trek through the bush, but as our Samburu colleagues say: “suffering will take you far, but comfort will kill you.” We might not go that far, but certainly our fundamental belief is that there is value in physical, social, and intellectual discomfort, which we moderate through a blend of cultural and wilderness immersion. We don’t avoid uncomfortable conversations. Rather, we seek them out in the name of education, self-awareness, and refining the important art of nuanced, respectful disagreement— a skill we see many leaders lacking. We also hope that, over time, such immersive experiences can contribute to positive change on both sides of the exchange, as we conserve the wisest and most beautiful elements of our respective cultures, while finding inspiration from the outside to evolve in other areas. We don’t know Mayor Seenoi-Barr, but would love to hear what she thinks—to what extent her story speaks to this power of cross-cultural experience. Whatever the case, we congratulate her and wish her luck in her new role! #LeadershipDevelopment #Culture #GenderInclusion #Africa
HISTORY MAKER...Our Chief Executive Lilian Seenoi Barr is Northern Ireland's first black mayor. She told the city's Guildhall last night: “My appointment is a sign of that celebration of difference, of a changing Northern Ireland, one where the binaries of the past are breaking down."
