Celebrating Juneteenth: A Journey of Freedom, Progress, and Empowerment Today, celebrate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas were informed of their freedom on June 19, 1865. This day symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice. Juneteenth is a celebration of resilience, culture, and the remarkable progress the Black community has made over the years. There has been progress in civil rights and corporate America, the contributions and achievements of Black people continue to shape our society in major ways. However, our journey is far from over. There is still work to be done to ensure true equality and opportunity for all. One avenue that I consistently talk about because of the immense potential for economic empowerment is passive real estate investing in commercial multifamily properties. By investing in these assets, we not only diversify our portfolios but also create avenues for generational wealth and community development. This form of investing can be particularly transformative for the Black community and other groups, providing a path to financial independence. Let's use this Juneteenth to reflect on our shared history, celebrate the progress we've made, and commit to creating a more inclusive and prosperous future. #Juneteenth #WealthMindset #RealEstateInvesting #Diversification #FinancialIntelligence #ThePharmaInvestor

At IRISi, we proudly support this year’s Black History Month theme: Reclaiming Narratives. It highlights the importance of recognising and amplifying Black communities' achievements, contributions, and voices -perspectives that have too often been overlooked or misrepresented throughout history. As an organisation committed to supporting those affected by gender-based violence, we know that #DomesticAbuse and #SexualViolence can impact Black communities and individuals in unique ways, presenting specific challenges and nuances. That’s why we’ve been working hard to incorporate this knowledge into our training, ensuring that our programmes - and the professionals we work with - are equipped to identify and handle these complexities within healthcare settings.
