Hey Friends & Kin!
Today's episode is our 1st w/a guest interview. Gina, Soul Creator of The Bedroom Bartender joined us for a lovely conversation. We discuss so many things from JUNETEENTH & why it is so important to celebrate our ancestors, supporting black businesses, self-care, Drake mimosas & we also play a new game - "What is Auntie Drinkin'?"
What exactly IS Juneteenth...
"On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and announced enslaved people were now free. Since then, June 19 has been celebrated as Juneteenth across the nation.The June 19 announcement came more than two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. So technically, from the Union's perspective, the 250,000 enslaved people in Texas were already free—but none of them were aware of it, and no one was in a rush to inform them..."
Auntie MeMe's jam this episode is, "Juneteenth Jamboree" performed by Gladys "Fatso" Bentley. Our question for Straight Facts is from Stefaney in Jacksonville.
Make sure you visit the Hand Me My Purse. Instagram page on or after Monday - 6|15|2020 to participate in the conversation about the season finale of "INSECURE"...
