Madewell wishes you a Happy Juneteenth and is proud to recognize Black history and heritage not only today, but every day 🖤. For our associates we are honoring the Juneteenth holiday by highlighting Black voices and changemakers and creating opportunities for connection in partnership with our NOIR Associate Impact Group (AIG) with celebrations featuring treats from black owned businesses. For more ways to honor and connect with the Black community on Juneteenth, we recommend following our partner Well-Read Black Girl, founded by Glory Edim as a platform to uplift Black storytellers. Edim has fostered a community where their voices are cherished and celebrated and for the third consecutive year, she worked with Madewell to curate a list of books that explore rich Black history and culture. We are grateful for this holiday as a reflection and celebration of African American resilience and achievement while continuing to inspire efforts toward social justice and unity in the United States. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #TeamMadewell

Happy Black History Month! Rather than simply patronizing black businesses, it is imperative to dive deep into the profound history of black people. We must put ourselves in their shoes and envision our ancestors enduring the harsh realities they faced as enslaved individuals. It is time to acknowledge the enduring challenges that black people face today. Black History Month calls for us to reflect on our history and unite within the broader black experience. While society often reduces us to our skin color, we must remember that our identity encompasses much more. The experiences of black people differ globally. So, we should be able to extend our support without appropriating each other's struggles. Furthermore, we must be vigilant about allies who might exploit the issue of racism for personal gain. The ramifications of slavery persist in society, affecting countless lives worldwide. We must resist reducing these issues to mere talking points or savior activism. In 2024, let's transcend slogans and hashtags and make an unwavering commitment to enhance the lives of black people globally. We must pay homage to the legacy of those who endured the transatlantic slave trade, whose identities and foundations were disrupted, and their descendants who continue to seek their place in the diverse tapestry of America. This Black History Month, let's take action that truly matters. #blackhistorymonth #diversity #togetherwearestronger
