Celebrate Juneteenth Through Art, Culture & Empowerment

Join us in honouring Juneteenth, a powerful day of freedom, resilience, and remembrance, through the creative tradition of waist bead making.

Waist beads hold deep cultural roots, symbolizing beauty, self-expression, and empowerment across generations. Whether you’re new to the tradition or continuing your journey, this hands-on experience invites you to reflect, connect, and celebrate your identity in a meaningful way.

🎉 When: June 19th from 12pm – 3pm
📍 Where: TBD

Bring your creativity, your voice, and your community spirit—let’s celebrate liberation together, bead by bead.
