Today we honor Juneteenth, commemorating the end of enslavement for all in the U.S. and the enduring fight for freedom and equality. Our Black Experiences+ Network continues to advocate for meaningful change, fostering an inclusive culture at Synchrony. Our employees are recognizing Juneteenth today -- choosing to celebrate with in-person or virtual celebrations across Synchrony, or enjoying the day off by using our choice holiday benefit. Hear from our new BE+ Network leader, LaShawna Hampton, and other network members as they reflect on this important day in our nation's history.
On June 1st, the baton of leading Synchrony's Black Experiences+ Network was handed to me by my dear friend and colleague, Ron Everett. This past week, I along with our BE+ operating leaders, Lisa Pollock, CPA, CIA, CAMS, Derrick Ramsey, Nashea Garland, Randy Best, Denise Arceneaux, and Marcus Proctor, shared powerful messages of what Juneteenth means to us. I captured a few excerpts to share with all of you. I share this because Juneteenth is an opportunity to reinforce that while we honor the actual day of realized emancipation for all enslaved people - June 19, 1865 - it symbolizes the continual need for transparency and cross-cultural collaboration. I invite you to share what Juneteenth means to you and reinforce the rich history of freedom fought and won by our ancestors. #Juneteenth #SynchronyLife
