I wanted to write a little something for y’all, this was not written by AI at all so there might be misspellings or grammar imperfections, but I did want to touch on something important to me as an American.

Happy Juneteeth!
For those of you who might not really understand what that actually means I’m happy to give you a little information.
When the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, many slave owners living in border states relied on their slave’s ignorance and lack of communication with anything outside of their plantation to not inform them they were free. This means that many African americans were still living as they have for many years prior: enslaved.

When the Civil war ended a union General named Gordon Granger took his troops to Texas to let them know: Hey yall, slavery is DONE! This took place on June 19th. However, even though slavery was “over” his proclamation stated that the freed would remain at their current residence but now work for wages. (For real though, do you think they’d pay a fair wage or treat them without resentment?!)

After June 19th, the free left their shackles in huge droves to search for their family members. Many slave owners would split families up upon arriving in the US or even as they formed on their plantations, families were split to break their spirit. Children were sold off at very young ages for punishment over very small petty things. Husbands lost their wives so they would not ‘become lazy’. With the knowledge they were free, they were able to find their family and try to salvage what they could together. For those of you with kids, can you imagine your 3 year old being shipped off because you forgot to put your trash cans out?

The resentment many white people had towards free african americans directly led towards the Jim Crow era, which diminished the spirit of celebration. Many had to focus on supporting themselves and surviving in a world full of obstacles, so celebration was put on the backburner. So the fact that its now a federal holiday is a huge win in working towards a better future of understanding history and how it plays a role in our lives today.

Please take today to pick some books up to learn a more in depth look into american history that handles the hard subject of slavery and racism as it was back then and as it is today. As many of you know, I always have an audio book playing in my ear at work, here are some titles i think you should check out to learn more about American history :

This directly impacts me and while it sounds like a great idea... it also sounds like it'll be a long road of ...headaches. hopefully I'll survive this !!🫠😬

Port KC could seek $90M for bridge to connect Columbus Park to Berkley Riverfront
The proposed flyover would get traffic off a road that has no sidewalks and is clogged with railroad tracks, improving connections.

Thank you to everyone who has ever written me a review! Sometimes its really hard to take a step back from all the obstacles and self setting goals, so seeing this in the mail was such a nice moment I'm able to take to self reflect.

Thank you for trusting me with your dogs and letting me get to know each and everyone, from absolute joys to naughty dogs, I love them all and i appreciate the time spent with them. Its been a very slow incline to where I want to be but ill get there soon enough and the love yall show to be will never go unnoticed. Thank you for rocking with me.
