As we come together to celebrate Juneteenth, we recognize the significance of this day in commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It is a time to honor the resilience and strength of the African American community and reflect on the strides we have made towards equality and justice. However, while we celebrate this important milestone, we must also acknowledge the enduring legacy of slavery that still affects our society. The abolition of slavery was a monumental step, but the lack of a comprehensive plan for integration and support left many African Americans facing immense challenges. Today, we see the echoes of this historical oversight in ongoing struggles with job opportunities, educational disparities, and systemic racism. At PMI, we commit ourselves to addressing these issues head-on. We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just principles to aspire to, but fundamental values that require active pursuit. It is our responsibility to create an environment where everyone has equal access to opportunities and is empowered to succeed. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us also reaffirm our dedication to building a more just and equitable society. Let us work together to dismantle the barriers that continue to hold back so many and strive for a future where every individual can thrive. Happy Juneteenth!

Happy Pride, y'all. Pride is officially the month of June, but in truth it's all year long. We may celebrate it in different ways, but it's all tied to the freedom to live our lives openly and honestly. So be who you are for your priiiiiiiide! And if you don't know, here's the video: https://lnkd.in/e2mnsJZM
