Honoring Juneteenth: Andrea shares her story, her community

Honoring Juneteenth: Andrea shares her story, her community


Last week on Juneteenth, Andrea Loudd of the Blueprint network shared her story and her community during Workgroup 2/3’s Liderazgo Comunitario (Community Leadership) workshop.

It’s a powerful reminder of the racial disparities that still exist since the emancipation of Black slaves in the U.S. on June 19, 1865 – and why the Blueprint is committed to equity and being community-centered in its work to address hunger across Colorado. 

Watch Andrea tell her story:

Andrea uses her voice to help move towards a Colorado where everyone who lives here can access the food they choose, when they need it, and where they want it. Her words and leadership inspire others to imagine a community without hunger — and we’re here to help amplify community voices like Andrea’s.
