Juneteenth is a time of reflection, learning, and action. Miriam is a Veterinary Assistant based at VCA Stafford Oaks Animal Hospital, and her passion for sharing knowledge led her to educate her hospital team and field leadership on Black history. Miriam: "I enjoy sharing these types of learning opportunities with my team because I see their excitement when learning something new and it feels great to have something I'm passionate about be received and celebrated in this way. My coworkers look forward to the presentations and celebrations I coordinate at our clinic and I look forward to every opportunity I have to share my knowledge with them." We appreciate Miriam for taking the time to share a bit of herself with her team and inspiring teams to learn more about Juneteenth. #lifeatvca
