importance of Juneteenth.



Juneteenth is an important celebration for Black communities to reclaim their history and culture. It is crucial for parents to teach their children about Juneteenth and other aspects of Black history, as schools often fail to do so. Celebrating Juneteenth can help people feel more connected to their cultural heritage and create a sense of joy and belonging. It is a form of resistance against erasure and a way to honor the struggles and resilience of Black people.

Join Kim, Marquia, and Ednesha as they talk about communication!


Communication is more than just words exchanged… it shapes relationships with yourself and others, our understanding, and ultimately, our well-being. Whether it's spoken or unspoken, communication brings us together, keeps us together and can separate us, or tears us apart. And there are so many things that make up communication: from the words we use, the way we say it, the cadence, the tone, our body language etc.
