Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that for many, freedom was brutally delayed, and that the fight for true equity continues. While the abolition of slavery marked a monumental shift, we recognize that the economic and social gaps created by centuries of systemic oppression persist today.
As DSF staff take this day off, we pause to honor the resilience of the Black community, celebrate Black joy, and reflect on our role in the ongoing fight for liberation.
⬇️ Here are a couple of ways you can honor and acknowledge Juneteenth today and every day:
- Make a conscious effort to buy from Black entrepreneurs, artists, and restaurants
- Share resources about Juneteenth and Black history with your network, workplace, or school.
- Offer your skills or labor to local organizations doing grassroots equity work.
- Donate to nonprofits focused on dismantling systemic racism and uplifting Black voices.
Did you know the word "mascot" roots back to the French word "mascotte", which translates to "something that brings good luck"? 💡
In celebration of #NationalMascotDay, we are highlighting our one and only Mountain Goat, Future! 🏔️🐐 Representing drive, resilience, and confidence, Future embodies everything DSF Scholars and Alumni are all about. No matter where they are spotted, Future`s bubbly and contagious energy completely lights up the room. We are so proud to be represented by the most stylish goat around!
Give it up for Future and all of their mascot friends! ✨
