VISION STATEMENT “My Juneteenth vision was birthed through prayer, purpose, and divine inspiration. It was in quiet moments with God that He revealed to me a deeper calling—to honor the legacy of freedom, faith, and resilience. Through His guidance, I was shown that Juneteenth is not just a date in history, but a sacred reminder of His promise of liberation and hope. This vision is not my own, but a God-given mission to celebrate our heritage, uplift our people, and walk in the fullness of the freedom He intended for us all.” - Veda Gay, Miss Juneteenth 1865 Worldwide President |
