"Empowering Black Communities: Juneteenth Celebrations and Resources"

Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery, is a time for the Black community to celebrate freedom, culture, and history. Non-profits supporting Black health, wealth, joy, and overall empowerment can be supported through donations. The Black community still faces disparities in income, health, education, and opportunity due to institutional and systemic racism. Addressing food insecurity, nutrition education, and better food access can make a difference in Black health. Black joy has been essential for survival, resistance, and self-development for centuries and should be celebrated and uplifted through non-profits that positively nourish the arts, music, and all the things that foster Black joy.
