Today is Juneteenth! On June 19, 1865, almost two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, the last remaining enslaved people — in Galveston, Texas — received word that the Civil War had ended and they had been liberated by the federal orders in the proclamation. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Celebrations broke out, and Juneteenth was born. It has since spread nationwide, and has ultimately become a time of sharing stories of Black resilience, resistance, liberation, and joy. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And now that Juneteenth is a federally recognized holiday, your employer may be giving you the day off (hello, long weekend!) or additional pay if they're staying open for business. We curated a list of ways you can thoughtfully join in honoring and remembering what we're "celebrating" on Juneteenth.

Grace and Empathy is one of the most beautiful attributes one can possess. We should all own it as one of our super powers! My time line has been flooded with video memorials of DJ Stephen “Twitch” Boss. I didn’t know him personally but I knew the beautiful gift of joy he shared with his audience. He leaves us with the reminder that this life is not perfect and it can be tough and some are quietly fragile! Let’s work on loving and leaning in on the things we take for granted. ( slide for gentle reminders)

You might find yourself in conversations today that are difficult to navigate. 🥴 Remember that it’s okay to set boundaries, even with loved ones. It’s okay to redirect or step away from a conversation that feels triggering or uncomfortable. Protect your mental health and well-being today. 💙🧡

We spend 9 months preparing for for our baby to come that we often forget that WE TOO are also reborn and are an entirely new person after birth. 💕

It’s Su***de Prevention Day and this is your friendly reminder that “our actions, no matter how big or small, may provide hope to those who are struggling.”

The first steps in providing support for anyone who might be struggling with suicidal thoughts are being compassionate and empathetic (more often, ideally always, with everyone), and talking about it.

According to the , one of the four key interventions that have proven to be effective against su***de is “early identify, assess, manage and follow up anyone who is affected by suicidal behaviours.”

More often than not, what people who are struggling need is to be listened to, and to be seen. Because we are so conditioned to answer “I’m doing well, you?” when asked “How are you?”, being on the lookout for the warning signs and holding space for people to voice their suicidal thoughts can be crucial when providing support.

Shame isn’t an ally. Sometimes you might not understand why someone feels the way they do, but judging them or making the situation be about others around them—thus minimizing the importance of their own experience and feelings—won’t help ease the distress they experience. BE KIND.

Swipe for ways to support people who might be going through difficult times.
