“Sisterhood, Culture, and Unforgettable Moments.”
I am so grateful for having been in the Juneteenth Pageant because of the sisterhood. I really loved being able to finally meet Ms. Suntrease and all the other girls in person. Yet, I also really enjoyed being able to learn more about my culture. All in all, I really had fun and was so grateful for everything I learned. Ms. Cassaundra Burks left a distinctive impression in my heart; I LOVED her energy, as well as her honesty! It was very fun being in second line, too, my first experience. Being able to learn more about Africatown was also truly cool, especially since I have been volunteering hours with the not-for-profit, LOTO (‘Lead One, Teach One’ of UTOPIAN LEGACY), and Chief Jason Lewis to clean up and assist in the refurbishing of a couple properties around the Heritage House and near the Community Center.
