291. Is it right to say "Happy Juneteenth" and does it matter who says it?

from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga

#juneteenth this year felt different and I wonder how it felt for you. I don't like seeing something I've recognized way before the holiday get commercialized. Even "Happy Juneteenth" feels off even though it IS a day that we should celebrate but are we celebrating without really remembering? Does it matter WHO says "Happy Juneteenth" to you, meaning the race of the person? Would love your thoughts. Let's talk about it! #kwanzaa #upstander #juneteenth2025 STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
