In this short but heartfelt message, the Wise Black Nanas take a moment to honor Juneteenth, a day of reflection, celebration, and continued commitment to freedom and justice.
Dr. Sharla shares a personal memory of seeing Opal Lee, the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” speak in Las Vegas. Her inspirational presence was a powerful example of the impact one person can have in changing a nation’s story.
Looking for a deeper dive into the history and meaning behind Juneteenth? The Nanas invite you to revisit Episode 13 – Juneteenth: Did You Know?, where they explore the history and enduring significance of this important day.
