JUNETEENTH NYC

The East New York and Brownsville community have been a huge support in building the Juneteenth NY Festival into a community staple. We're honored to gather thousands together in recognition of the Juneteenth National Holiday Over the last 14 years. Juneteenth NYC is a nonprofit public charity recognized as tax-exempt by the IRS under Section 501(c)(3).

What is Juneteenth NYC

it is a dynamic platform committed to empowering BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) entrepreneurs for global success and expansion. By offering a unique blend of educational courses, workshops, and high-impact events, Juneteenth NYC transforms innovative ideas into scalable businesses that thrive and contribute to generational wealth in underserved communities. Our mission extends beyond business development; it’s about creating a global network that uplifts and celebrates the heritage, resilience, and achievements of BIPOC entrepreneurs.

Juneteenth NYC supporting minority entrepreneurs

At Juneteenth NYC, we take a holistic approach to supporting minority entrepreneurs by providing the resources, networks, and mentorship they need to thrive. We understand that true empowerment involves more than access to capital—it requires a supportive ecosystem that encourages innovation, collaboration, and sustained growth. That’s why we focus on bringing essential resources directly to underserved communities, creating opportunities for collaboration and long-term success.

Juneteenth NYC is more than a business platform

it is a movement to honor the legacy of Juneteenth, empower BIPOC communities, and build a future where diversity, resilience, and unity are celebrated on a global scale. Through our work, we continue to shape a narrative of progress, pride, and opportunity for generations to come.

Our

Global Juneteenth Mission Statement

is to celebrate African American heritage and honor the legacy of Juneteenth by creating inclusive spaces that highlight our rich history and promote cultural pride. Through empowering events, we connect communities across the globe, support the economic growth of Black-owned businesses, and inspire future generations to take pride in their identity. We aim to educate, engage, and elevate, leaving a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of all who participate, while empowering everyone to contribute to a more equitable world.

Our

Global Juneteenth Vision Statement

is to build a world where the spirit of Juneteenth is celebrated globally and embraced as a powerful reminder of resilience, freedom, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and empowerment. We aim to become a global leader that not only preserves and honors African American heritage but also acts as a catalyst for economic empowerment, cultural education, and transformative action that uplifts our shared future. Through intentional engagement and meaningful collaboration, we envision Global Juneteenth as a beacon of empowerment, pride, and unity, inspiring progress for generations around the world.
