Friends, AfroTech is right around the corner, so let's talk video strategy. I'd love to see the feed FLOODED with recaps + more! 📹 ✨ Hope you can put these ideas to use- 🏆 Create a "Day In the Life" video (share moments like...grabbing breakfast with friends, what your downtime looks like, clips from sessions, etc.) 🏆 Share key takeaways from your favorite speakers (extra points if you share video clips of speakers) 🏆 If you're a speaker, share a clip from your session (if the audio isn't clear in your recorded clip, add a voiceover over the clip explaining your session) 🏆 Create a "Get Ready with Me" sharing what you're most excited about for the day/what resonated with you most the day before 🏆 Walk around the conference and ask attendees for feedback! ( Ex: "What has been your favorite moment at AfroTech and why?") 🏆 Create a video with friends "confessional style" (extra points for humor) Alright, I'll be waiting 🥹

Today, we celebrate the powerful spirit of freedom and equality as we commemorate Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day. It's a day to honor the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. Juneteenth holds immense historical significance, marking the moment when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, to announce the end of slavery—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day stands as a reminder of the long journey toward justice and the resilience of the African American community. It's an opportunity to reflect on our shared history and recognize the ongoing fight against racial injustice. Let us remember the sacrifices, the struggles, and the triumphs of those who paved the way for progress. Juneteenth symbolizes the unyielding spirit of resilience, unity, and hope for a better future. As we celebrate this day, let's continue to amplify Black voices, promote equality, and actively contribute to dismantling systemic racism. Educate yourself, engage in meaningful conversations, and support organizations working towards racial justice. Let's make Juneteenth a time of learning, understanding, and appreciation for the richness and diversity of our nation. Together, we can create a future where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and equality. #Juneteenth #Equality #SocialJustice
