Some words of wisdom from this past Sunday❤️

"We are injured by our complicity in oppression. We don't come to our privilege unscathed by its procurement. In other words, our stake in wounding others, however small, wounds us too. We are bound by power that benefits us."

#Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we've come in the fight for Black liberation, and of how much more work there is left to be done. Be vigilant. Every day, we must affirm that #blacklivesmatter, and work hard to create that change. ✊🏿 #FreedomDay #Juneteenth2025 #BLM
