At Direct Supply, we honor as both a celebration of freedom and a powerful reminder that progress takes all of us.

Last week, our Partners came together to mark this historic day with food, community, and meaningful conversation. Our Juneteenth celebration was more than a moment — it was a shared commitment to understanding, connection, and forward momentum.

As we reflect, our Black Inclusion Group encourages us all to continue the work:

🌟 Uplift Black Voices
Support Black-owned businesses, artists, innovators, and leaders — not just in June, but every day of the year.

🌟Learn from the Past
Juneteenth is a reminder that justice was not immediate for all. Take time to understand history and how it shapes today.

🌟 Act with Empathy
Building inclusion starts with listening, respecting lived experiences, and creating space where everyone can thrive.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this celebration to life. Together, we move forward — stronger, more united, and committed to meaningful, lasting change.
