✨ Juneteenth marks the day freedom truly rang out.
On June 19, 1865—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation—enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally received word that they were free.
Today, we honor that moment in history and the ongoing journey toward justice, equality, and empowerment. At International Institute of Cosmetology, we stand in solidarity with the Black community and celebrate the beauty, creativity, and resilience that continues to shape our industry.
🖤❤️💚 Freedom. Expression. Legacy.
