Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, was approved as a national holiday in 2021. African-Americans around the US will officially begin to boldly celebrate our nationally recognized day of freedom. What does that look like for you? We’re looking to flood our platform with images celebrating Black culture & the Black family. Highlight moments during those backyard barbecues, with laughter from family and friends over meals and recipes that don’t need measuring cups for accuracy. From visits by the uncles, aunties and cousins to the kids playing without a single care in the world. Let’s see everyone in attendance having a great time creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Invite the world to see all that happens as you celebrate Freedom Day in the most authentic way!
