Juneteenth has been a back and fourth decision for me. As a white women, I don't want to ignore this holiday. Also as a white women, I don't think I should plan this without a POC. As Juneteenth is a new age holiday, and the majority of the residents in my facility are old age, it doesn't make this holiday or celebration any less important. Especially considering I am in a predominantly black city. We have chosen to do Juneteenth education and trivia, as well as celebrating with red velvet cake (I read that is a signature dessert for this holiday.)
I have only just found you and I have been overwhelmed by the content. A week ago, I was contemplating leaving my job because I was just running out of ideas and I was getting bored doing the same old things. Not now! Thank you!
