Our country is in a place that has many people hurting and dismayed about inequalities among minorities and the injustices that come from that.  It’s time to acknowledge those wrongdoings and help lift our community up. A good place to start is understanding what Juneteenth means to the black community.  

Juneteenth,  also known as freedom day, is a holiday meant to commemorate the day that the last slaves in Texas were set free in 1865, two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. It evolved into a celebration focusing on African American history and progress, freedom and arts. 

A simple way you can show that support and bring about unification is by shopping at local Black-owned businesses in our community. Did you know there are more than  375 black-owned businesses  in Colorado ?  RezDox is proudly included as one of the independently black-owned businesses, listed under the Miscellaneous Services. 

There is no shortage of variety businesses to support from food, to your health and well being...the options are endless. Here are just a few of our local service providers that can help improve your home:

As a community, it is important to recognize what it took for these businesses to flourish and prosper through what were undoubtedly difficult paths laid out. The determination required to start a business is met with many challenges for anybody, but for people of color, those challenges can be amplified. 

We must do better. We must support those who make our Colorado home as great as it is. Take the time to visit museums and educate yourself, read books that will enlighten you to a plight unknown to you, and help keep these local businesses moving forward by frequenting them and letting others know their value to us all.

This Juneteenth let’s come together as one and see not our differences, but our commonalities. Be certain in uncertain times that our communities will prosper, and unity will come to fruition.
