This Is Juneteenth: A Celebration of Our Black Freedom, History, and Future

There’s a lot going on in the country and the world right now. But one thing we refuse to do is to let it stop our Black joy. So, we’re giving you this special Juneteenth 2020 episode of #YesGirlPodcast to honor the beauty of Blackness past and present. With conversations from Alzo Slade (@alzoslade), Kendrick Sampson (@kendrick38), Kirk + Tammy Franklin (@kirkfranklin) (@iamtammyfranklin) and Miss Juneteenth director Channing Godfrey Peoples (@cgpeoples) some of our favorite #Juneteenth comments from our Yes, Girl! supporters - this episode is dedicated to the truths about our freedom and the joy we can always find in our Blackness.
