About this Event

Juneteenth is not a moment. It’s a mirror.

Two days of dialogue, memory, and media reflection—where community becomes conversation and conversation becomes action.

📍 June 19 | 7:00–9:00 PM CST
Community Leaders Panel
Featuring: Risa Lanier, Ja’Maya Hawkins, Melina Navarette
Moderated by: Brandon Tillery

📍 June 20 | 1:00–4:00 PM CST
Media Literacy Panel
Featuring: George Ellzey, Jade Walker, Cortlyn Kelly
Moderated by: Brandon Tillery

Across both days, we’re asking what freedom actually requires in the present tense—through leadership, storytelling, and the power of how narratives are shaped.

And we’re building something tangible: a goal of 500 donated books toward a community library. Bring one. Add to the archive of us.

This is not just programming. It’s participation.
