SOUL Sisters Leadership Collective

#SOULSisters is proud to honor the 155-year legacy of Juneteenth by closing our offices today for self-care & healing.

On June 19, 1865, residents of Texas learned that slavery was abolished as of 1863. This day, Juneteenth, has since been heralded as the oldest national celebration to commemorate the emancipation of slaves in the United States.

We hope you enjoy this quick recipe for a traditional Red Drink! Red hibiscus drinks are native to West Africa, and were recreated as the Juneteenth drink, adding red berries such as strawberries and raspberries.

We also take this time to raise up #LayleenPolanco #ZoeSpears #MuhlaysiaBooker #ChynalLindsey and #ChanelScurlock , 5 Black trans women who were murdered this month. These deaths occurred both in prisons and in our communities, and serve as a reminder that we are not safe and not free until all of us are safe and free.

As June is also observed as Pride Month, we remember that the movement for justice and liberation MUST be intersectional and include systems-involved Black and Brown girls, women, and non-binary folks in leadership. We believe in every person's right to live lives of authenticity, joy, and freedom.
