The Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation in the Workplace
Happy Juneteenth! If you are looking for ways to celebrate and support the efforts and contributions of the Black community, here is how you can celebrate Juneteenth 2023.
Support Black Businesses
Supporting Black companies that give back is a fantastic way to celebrate Juneteenth. Here are a few companies to consider.
Note: descriptions of companies are taken from the company’s website.
Mr. Jason Wilson is the founder of the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy, a comprehensive resource for healing boys, mending men, fortifying families, and cultivating a community worldwide. He is also the author of Battle Cry and Cry Like a Man.
For decades, Jason Wilson was losing the internal battle that men wage daily but was never taught how to win. Battle Cry will teach men how to wage and win the war within themselves—unlearning society’s definition of masculinity and empowering them with the mental and spiritual tools needed to live freely from the good in their hearts instead of their fears.

Since 2005, The McBride Sisters’ mission has been clear – to transform the industry, lead by example, and cultivate community, one delicious glass of wine at a time. If you love wine, you can shop the McBride Sisters while supporting a company that gives back through their SHE CAN Professional Development Fund.
A lifetime friendship, shared values, and an immeasurable love for coffee & tea serve as the foundation for BLK & Bold Specialty Beverages. Co-founders Pernell & Rod created this company with the desire to unite coffee and tea lovers worldwide through a common interest in investing in the community, specifically for the youth.
BLK & Bold pledges 5% of its proceeds to nonprofit organizations across America that are aligned to pouring into children the confidence, exposure, and guidance for them to be the best version of themselves.
Jungalow started as a design blog in Justina Blakeney’s tiny, plant-filled living room in 2009 and has since grown into a lifestyle brand and the go-to source for jungalicious design goods and inspiration.
They have joined forces with Trees for the Future, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to plant Forest Gardens to provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, products to sell, fuel wood, and a 400% increase in annual income in four years. Every product you purchase with Jungalow plants two trees.
