Today, on #Juneteenth I want to take a moment to provide some much-needed nuance that I haven't seen much on my LinkedIn timeline. It's important to note that this is a day to honor the experiences of enslaved people in the United States. This is not simply "a day to center Black folks" as I'm seeing being suggested, but more specifically, those who descended from enslaved people. Me and my good sis Joquina Reed have discussed this on our Linkedin Live show throughout the past year, but it bears repeating: We must prioritize and center those directly impacted by Juneteenth. To me, this means turning down Juneteenth speaking engagements, as I am *not* a descendant of enslaved people, and referring folks like Kina and other descendants of enslaved people who can speak to what Juneteenth means to them and how they/their families have directly been impacted by chattel slavery. This nuance and differentiation is important. Much of the dialogue has been lumping all Black folks across the diaspora into the Juneteenth conversation but I think the distinction is crucial. Equity is achieved when we point out and account for these seemingly subtle but important nuances and ensure we're centering those directly impacted by specific historical harms. Aside from Joquina, some folks to learn from include: LeRon Barton Erin Corine Johnson Kim Crowder John Graham Jr. Dr. Nika White, CDE®, IOM
