Today is also a reminder to educate yourself on Black History, support Black businesses, follow Black-led organizations, and/or learn about Black artists–authors, musicians, dancers, visual artists… the wide-ranging diversity of Black experience and expression! Today is also a reminder to always stand up against oppression, exploitation, injustice, and violence. Wishing everyone a fulfilled Juneteenth! \#juneteenth \#thecounselinghub \#socialjustice

Black Joy is a symbol of hope and empowerment for Black individuals amidst racial challenges. It affirms that they are not just survivors but also thriving agents of change. This spirit has been a source of strength and motivation throughout history. It carried enslaved African ancestors through unimaginable trials, believing that future generations would reap the seeds of freedom they sowed. At #America250, we celebrate Black Joy as a reflection of life, culture, and community. It's about finding positivity and support within ourselves and those around us. It's also a way of healing and resting our body, mind, and spirit. During this #BlackHistoryMonth, we invite you to join us in recognizing and honoring Black Joy. It's not just a concept. It's a movement, a celebration of being, and a legacy that we carry forward.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful day of liberation and reflection. As we honor the end of slavery in the United States, let's come together to recognize the enduring strength and resilience of the Black community. This is a moment to reflect on the journey toward freedom and equality, and to energize our collective efforts in the ongoing fight for justice. Partner with us in celebrating Black culture, history, and contributions that continue to shape our world. Together, we can build a future where freedom and equality are truly universal. Did you know? Enslaved people ingeniously used hair braiding as maps for routes of escape from their enslavers. This incredible act of resistance highlights the ingenuity and resilience of those who fought for freedom. After emancipation, Black people have continued to use their hair as an act of celebration, resistance, and a bold expression of self. #Juneteenth #BlackFreedom #CelebrateFreedom #EnergizeChange
