This month’s theme is deeply personal to me. It’s an important reminder, on multiple levels. I encourage you all to be mindful in celebrating this month, too. If you weren’t planning on calling an older American close to you, give them a call anyway. Pay them a visit if you have an hour, even if it’s impromptu. Have lunch together, even if it’s just PB&J. Talk sports; talk music; talk life. Tell stories. Go for a walk. But most importantly: connect, reconnect and stay connected.
This May, we're celebrating Older Americans Month and are happy to share that this year's theme is 'Powered By Connection'! We invite you to celebrate this month with us by reaching out to an older adult with whom you haven't spoken in a while. You'll make that person's day - and yours, too. Thank you to the Administration for Community Living for recognizing the profound impact of meaningful relationships and social connections on our health and well-being. #PoweredByConnection #socialhealth #socialconnection #connectingforgood #intergenerational #mentalhealth

🎉 Celebrating Juneteenth with RADIANT Wealth Planning, LLC! 🎉 Today, we join the nation in commemorating Juneteenth, a profound milestone in American history that symbolizes freedom, equality, and liberation. 🌟🌈 Juneteenth represents the day when the emancipation of enslaved African Americans was announced in Galveston, Texas in 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and determination of the community in the face of adversity. At RADIANT Wealth Planning, LLC, we believe in the importance of financial empowerment and creating equal opportunities. We strive to support and uplift all communities in their pursuit of financial success and generational wealth. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us reflect on the progress we have made and the work that still lies ahead. Let's continue to dismantle systemic barriers, promote economic equality, and create a future where everyone has access to financial independence and prosperity. Today, we stand in solidarity with the community and affirm our commitment to fostering inclusivity, diversity, and equality in all aspects of our work. Happy Juneteenth! 🌟🎉 #Freedom #Equality #Liberation #RADIANTWealthPlanningLLC #FinancialEmpowerment #Inclusivity #Celebrate

I create stories about life, love, nature, relationships and friendships. LinkedIn Weekly Avg. Reach- 10 Million + Views
Children indeed have a remarkable ability to see the world through a lens of unity, unclouded by the divisions that often pervade adult discourse. It's a poignant reminder of the simplicity and purity with which they perceive the world. As adults, we often find ourselves grappling with theories and ideologies that promote divisiveness, perhaps because it's perceived as easier to control or influence individuals when they are divided. Yet, at the core of our existence lies the fundamental truth that each of us is created equal, devoid of inherent privilege over one another. In embracing this belief, we reject the notion of being categorized or oppressed based on arbitrary distinctions. We possess the agency and capability to navigate our own paths without the need for external validation or assistance. While extending our compassion to those in need, whether the elderly or disabled, we remain steadfast in our commitment to standing on our own two feet, independent and self-reliant. We refuse to be swayed or indebted by gestures aimed at buying our loyalty or allegiance. In following the example set by children, we honor their innate understanding of equality and strive to emulate their purity of heart. Let us embrace the simplicity and clarity with which they view the world, transcending the barriers that divide us and reaffirming our shared humanity. #Unity #Equality #PureHeart #Independence #RejectDivisiveness Hopefully you enjoy my posts and will follow me on LinkedIn.

For decades, there’s been grumblings over DEI being anti-White and a zero sum gain that provides unearned benefits to people of color. Yet, the data tells a different story. DEI efforts continues to benefit EVERYONE. That said, it’s long past due to debunk the antagonistic narrative.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, the longest-running nationally celebrated recognition of the freeing of enslaved people. This day marks an era of freedom, uncertainty, hope, struggle, and resilience in both the pre- and post-emancipation periods. Starting on June 19, 1865, and through today in 2024, it is a day for us to recognize the continued fight for equity and human rights. The formal end of slavery has been followed by nearly 150 years of policies and practices that have continued to oppress Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Whether it be the discriminatory housing practice of red-lining, the persistent wage gaps between workers of different racial identities, or the disparities in birth outcomes for BIPOC communities, there are systemic inequities at play. Room to Grow is committed to closing these gaps where we can for our families. Our mission, informed by these deeply rooted systems of oppression, is to promote equity and opportunity by helping children thrive from the start. We do this by equipping families with crucial resources needed throughout their child’s first three years of life. Today, join us in honoring the legacy of #Juneteenth, the spirit of hope, and the value of never giving up. 💙 #SystemicRacism #SystemicOppression #EmancipationDay #LiberationDay

The beauty of old age lies not in the physical appearance alone, but in the richness of experiences, the wisdom, and the resilience that comes with the passing years. Instead of viewing old age with trepidation, let us celebrate and embrace it for the unique and invaluable phase of life it represents. By honoring and cherishing the elderly, we build a society that values the lessons of the past and looks forward to a future filled with hope and compassion. #smilewiththeebenezerinitiative

We are proud once again to celebrate Juneteenth – a federal holiday held each June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery. The holiday’s name combines the words "June" and "nineteenth" – the day in 1865 when 250,000 slaves in Texas were declared free, nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln. It remains a significant moment in American history. Nearly 160 years later, our nation is still confronting urgent issues of racial #injustice that exist across our society – from health care and education to the criminal justice system and #housing. In California, African Americans are five times more likely than white people to experience #homelessness. This is reflected in who we serve at Abode. In the communities where Abode works, people identifying as Black, African American or African represent 1 to 11 percent of the general population per the U.S. Census, but represent up to 48 percent of who we serve. Racism and #discriminatory #policies and practices continue to persist. A critical part of our work is to reflect on and address the challenges of racism and #exclusion that we see in our housing work. We encourage each of you to read Abode’s pledge of anti-racism on our website at abode.org. Our pledge acknowledges that #homelessness is inextricably linked to structural #racism, as people of color have historically been denied many of the housing and financial resources afforded to white people. This #Juneteenth, we aim to explore the history and achievements of the African American #community in order to increase our collective understanding of our country’s past and current issues around housing #inequality – and how we continue our work to solve this problem. In that spirit, we observe Juneteenth to support and salute African American employees at Abode, who comprise 17 percent of our workforce along with the more than 4,000 African American participants or residents of our programs and housing sites. Please join us in proudly celebrating Juneteenth.
