She turned her dreams into plans

cantstocansShe turned her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans. I read this and think of the women who come to our programs. They are no longer willing to focus on all of the things that they haven’t done. They are ready to focus on what they want instead of what they don’t.

I think about quiet Jenny. When she first came to our Leap to Confidence class we could barely hear her, she spoke so softly. She kept her head down and didn’t make much eye contact. On graduation day she proclaimed that she didn’t want to be that quiet person anymore and that she was finished letting other people make decisions for her.

Jenny realized that she was in control of her life. She was ready to say what she wanted out loud. She was ready to turn her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans.

What are you ready for?

The History of Juneteenth
Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

The historical legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of never giving up hope in uncertain times. The National Museum of African American History and Culture is a community space where this spirit of hope lives on. A place where historical events like Juneteenth are shared and new stories with equal urgency are told.
