Happy Juneteenth
On this Juneteenth, we honor the moment in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Texas finally learned of their freedom — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. It is both a celebration and a charge: to continue the fight for equity, truth, and liberation in all spaces.
For us as Black mothers, that liberation shows up in how we raise our children, how we care for ourselves, and how we push back against the systems that were not built for our thriving.
Call to Action:
This Juneteenth, forward this to a mom you love. Share the fireside chat. Register for an event. Or simply take 10 minutes to breathe and remember:
Your rest is resistance.
Your voice is power.
Your motherhood is revolutionary.
With deep care and community,
