Tee-Ta & Tiffany talked about Juneteenth, now a Federal Holiday. The official Day is June 19th. However, this year's observance is Monday, June 20th, 2022.
The ladies discussed why Juneteenth came about and why it is essential. You can watch or listen to why Juneteenth is necessary for our society and how to move forward in creating change for the betterment of all.
Additionally, Tee-Ta & Tiffany mentioned how Walmart missed the mark on 'not' capitalizing or exploiting Juneteenth. In this case, it was ice cream. And along with that, the ice cream was similar to Creamalicious Artisan Ice Cream (https://www.socreamalicious.com/) owned by a Black Woman. Walmart eventually removed the ice cream after receiving backlash. The question is, 'Were all the right people at the table?'
The ladies also gave some ideas of what you can do to celebrate Juneteenth. It is not just about a day off. Let's all work towards a better America by making changes to dismantle suppressive systems.
Here is an article on Juneteenth in the NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) HQ Newsletter for Members. It is an excellent resource https://bit.ly/3QvCUzQ.
