“George Floyd’s death was my wake-up call.”

In honor of Juneteenth, we here at TeenTalks are bringing you content from an all-black teen cast! In case you don’t know- Juneteenth is a celebration- one that highlights the emancipation of the Black Community and how far we have progressed in the community. But that doesn’t mean we are progressive as we like to be. While it may be a little dim, we wanted to highlight the movement Black Lives Matter and the work that still needed to be done.

We hope you enjoy these different voices, thoughts, and opinions from teens growing up in the black community in their own way.
