Juneteenth 2025 came and went—with no mass shootings, no chaos, and no tragedy. Just celebration. After years of violence at Black cultural events, this year marked a major shift. In this episode of Broken Traditions, we reflect on the peace at this year’s Juneteenth and contrast it with heartbreaking violence in 2024—from Milwaukee to Round Rock, TX.
🎙️ I break down the emotional weight of Black fatigue, the power of accountability, and how a “quiet win” like this might be a sign of cultural progress we’ve been waiting for.
💬 Featuring real news clips, community commentary, and a reminder that progress isn’t always loud—but it’s always worth celebrating.
