Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. Tomorrow, we honor that history, celebrate the strength and resilience of the Black community, and continue to work toward a more inclusive and equitable future. On behalf of the African American Business Leaders Council, we wish you an impactful Juneteenth 🖤

A le***an feminist, poet, and activist, Audre Lorde used her voice to challenge racism, sexism, and homophobia while advocating for a more just and equitable society.

At YWCA Allentown, our mission to eliminate racism and empower women reflects the values that Lorde championed throughout her life. Her work reminds us that creating meaningful change requires us to recognize and address the ways different forms of inequality intersect and impact our communities.
