Happy Juneteenth, Gwinnett!

Hear my remarks from the dais as I reflect on the meaning of Juneteenth—a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality.

This past weekend, I was honored to join thousands of residents at Gwinnett Pride to celebrate this year's theme: "Unapologetically Us: Celebrating Our Authentic Selves."

I love that theme because, at the end of the day, every single person wants the same thing:

To be seen.
To be valued.
To belong.
To know they don't have to shrink themselves to fit into someone else's expectations.

One of the things I love most about Gwinnett is that our diversity isn't something we simply tolerate—it's one of our greatest strengths. When people feel safe enough to show up as their authentic selves, our community is better for it. We become more compassionate neighbors, stronger workplaces, more welcoming schools, and a richer, more vibrant place to call home.

That's why events like Gwinnett Pride matter.

Because somewhere in that crowd was a young person realizing they are not alone.

Somewhere was a parent learning how to better support their child.

Somewhere was an ally deciding to speak up.

And somewhere was someone experiencing what it feels like to simply belong.

As Chairwoman, I remain committed to leading unapologetically and helping build a Gwinnett where everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to contribute their unique talents to our community.

Because when everyone belongs, Gwinnett thrives. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Today, on Women Veterans Day, I am reflecting on the incredible honor of hosting our fourth annual Women Veterans Luncheon yesterday.

This year's theme, "Still Serving," recognized the many ways women veterans continue to lead, mentor, advocate, and strengthen our communities long after their military service ends. Their commitment to service doesn't stop when they take off the uniform—it lives on through the lives they touch and the communities they help build.

Women Veterans Day commemorates the signing of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act on June 12, 1948, which granted women the right to serve as permanent members of the U.S. Armed Forces. It is a reminder of the barriers that were broken, the sacrifices that were made, and the generations of women who have answered the call to serve our nation with courage and distinction.

To all of the women veterans in Gwinnett and beyond: thank you for your service, your leadership, and your continued impact. Your legacy of service inspires us all.

Happy Women Veterans Day. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
