HAPPY JUNETEETH Weekend!
On June 17, 2021, Juneteenth became a national holiday. It is the oldest commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
On June 19,1866 our ancestors in Texas celebrated their freedom, two and half years AFTER Emancipation Proclamation.
As far as I am concerned, Juneteenth ins OUR Independence Day. It represents freedom from the residue of bondage that has been passed down generationally.
When you are free, you can, with support and encouragement, fulfill your dreams.
I believe our ancestors died so we could live the American Dream.
I believe the Juneteenth commemoration is more than a block party and red punch.
I believe Juneteenth reminds us to keep the faith; to keep dreaming until our dreams come true.
So, in the spirit of dreaming of a brighter tomorrow, I am lending all my platforms to an extraordinary Sister Entrepreneur who, like Juneteenth, had to wait and pray for her own emancipation in order to go for her dreams.
My friend Ronica Marable is a Black Woman budding TV chef!!!
Go here to vote for her: <<< https://favchef.com/2023/ronica-marable
Ronica grew up, like so many of us, in abject poverty and is the first person in her family to go to college.
She lost her mom to cancer and her father to addiction.
She is legally responsible for her handicapped adult twin siblings.
She is a therapist, and she loves the Lord.
She wants to teach how cooking got us through slavery and is a legacy that keeps us alive.
She believes that cooking is healing for the soul.
Ronica has dreamed of leaving her day job and making her brand “Cooking in Heels” a household name in honor of her dearly departed mother and aunt who taught her our history. With your free vote, she can.
Ronica has lived a selfless life. Like so many “strong Black Women” she has put her family and her people BEFORE here own dreams. She can cook her HEELS off, but she needs our support. She DESERVES to be supported the way she has supported SO many people as a therapist—including rehab counselling for addicts of all races.
Here’s what I believe:
I believe in Black Women Businesses thriving.
I believe EVERY Black Woman needs to be supported to have her dreams come true.
I believe Ronica’s genius as a chef is therapeutic healing THROUGH cooking (which we inherited from our Ancestors) NEEDS to be televised.
