Juneetenth is not a day of rest...unless you are a Black American, it is also a day for us to dream of a future where we are celebrated, liberated, paid fairly and thriving. If you are white you should be thinking about how you are investing in the liberation of Black people, investing in mutual aid and redistributing your privilege. Please don't let Juneteenth become another commodified "holiday" with capitalistic aims. #juneteenth

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

Juneteenth: A Celebration of Unity and Truth As we celebrate Juneteenth, it’s crucial to shine a light on the black experience, especially here in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). I am incredibly proud to be a Juneteenth Celebration of Unity Event sponsor and to serve on the Village in the Valley Board of Directors, where we are committed to bringing awareness and unity to our community. Recently, while in Austin, I was reminded of the importance of preserving the true history of Juneteenth. Watching the news, I heard a report that highlighted a significant aspect of our past. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, yet the Civil War continued until April 1865. It was not until two months later that enslaved people in Texas were notified of their freedom. This delay is often attributed to slow communication, but the reality is that it was an intentional decision influenced by economic factors. The slaves were legally free in 1863, but they were kept in bondage for two additional years due to these circumstances. As we commemorate this day, let’s commit to telling the full story and understanding the true context of Juneteenth. This helps us appreciate the resilience and strength of those who suffered and fought for their freedom. Today, let’s celebrate unity and the ongoing fight for equality, and remember the importance of truth in our shared history. #Juneteenth #BlackExperience #History
