FAM: As we celebrate Juneteenth, we honor a pivotal moment in history—the emancipation from slavery. This day is not only a celebration of freedom but also an opportunity to reflect on the journey towards equality and justice for all. Using the FIT Methodology, let's take this moment to find our "why," trust our gut, and push through barriers to create a world of inclusion and solidarity. **Faith**: Let us find the intrinsic value in our unique cultural histories and contributions. Juneteenth reminds us of the power within our community to overcome and thrive. By recognizing our worth and the significance of our stories, we empower ourselves and others. **Intuition**: Trust your gut. Build both mental and physical awareness to recognize the work still needed to achieve true equality. Let’s use this awareness to guide our actions, ensuring they are inclusive and just. **Tenacity**: Push through barriers by redefining success on our own terms. Together, we can create new narratives that honor all cultures and communities. Let’s commit to building supportive environments where everyone can thrive. Juneteenth is a reminder that while we celebrate past victories, there is still work to be done. I invite everyone to join in solidarity, to rewrite history in a way that supports and includes all cultures. Together, we can build a world where every voice is heard, and every person is valued. Happy Juneteenth! In strength and unity, Sheryl Grant

Juneteenth is a time for reflection and action. ?? It encourages us to look back at the struggles and triumphs that were made by Black/African Americans and challenges ALL of us to observe the work that still lies ahead in the pursuit of equality and justice. ?? According to Angela Tate, Curator of African American Women's History Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Juneteenth "is not a neutral holiday where you just show up. Juneteenth requires you to be present, in the moment, and very specific about why you are showing up to celebrate it." Therefore, as partners, advisors, and supporters, we should continually recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice. ?? And celebrate the centuries of struggle, courage, and hope that have brought us to this time of progress and possibility. ?? At Phired Up, we honor the resilience and contributions of Black/African Americans and we stand committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued. ?? We recognize the significance of Juneteenth by advocating for equitable support, education, and access across diverse intersections represented in our organizations and on our campuses. ?? We are invested in elevating the future of all students because we know not every member and every voice in our community is seen and supported. We believe in supporting one another in creating a more just and equitable society. ?? Join us in celebrating Juneteenth and in working towards a future where freedom truly means freedom for all. ??? #Juneteenth #EqualityForAll #SocialJustice #InclusiveCommunity #CelebrateDiversity #EquityInAction #FreedomForAll
