🖤❤️💚 Happy Juneteenth, Ashé Fam!!! 💪🏾🫶🏾
Today, we celebrate freedom, resilience, culture, and the ancestors who dreamed beyond their circumstances so we could stand where we stand today.

But let’s also be honest... today is for the aunties who brought the potato salad, the uncles who swear nobody can out grill them, the cousins teaching the latest line dance, and the babies running around with red juice stains on their shirts with the ponytail outta place!

It’s a day to honor OUR past, celebrate OUR present, and build OUR future. A day to embrace OUR joy, OUR brilliance, OUR creativity, OUR style, OUR music, OUR food, and all the beautiful Blackness that makes us... US. 🖤

May YOUR plate be full, your playlist be Black, your family group chat be active, and your line dancing be slightly off beat but fully committed. 😏

Be EXTRA Black today. Tell the family stories. Practice Maw Maw’s recipes. Wear the outfit. Love on your people. Take up space. And if anybody asks what you’re doing...You tell them I’m Being Blackity Black Black and minding my business!!✊🏾

This week, our Kuumba Kids have been exploring the powerful principle of Sankofa 👉🏾looking back to move forward.

Through art, storytelling, and cultural learning, our youth are discovering how the wisdom of our ancestors, our history, and our traditions can guide future generations.

As Marcus Garvey reminds us, “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.”

We’re proud to watch our young people connect with their roots, find their voices, and carry our stories forward through the arts.
