Building freedom, wealth, and unity

Las Vegas Black Image publishers Charles Tureaud and Kimberly Bailey Tureaud

Freedom.

The pursuit of it surrounds the African-American experience. And as America marks the Fourth of July, we also reflect on the new national holiday of Juneteeenth, which commemorates Black people’s liberation from slavery.

Economic freedom is central to the struggle — and this edition of Las Vegas Black Image celebrates Black realtors in Southern Nevada who are working to create generational wealth through Black home and business ownership. The right to vote must be exercised to keep us free, so we are grateful to all who participated in this month’s Community Speaks feature, which covers voter suppression and the best ways to address it.

When we talk about unity, it often begins with our amazing team of editors, an incredible graphic artist, and the amazing arsenal of contributing writers who use their skills to represent, educate, and stimulate our readers — and to breathe values of love and unification into our communities. And it shows most powerfully in the dedication of the advertisers who stand with Las Vegas Black Image Magazine to keep our positive images alive. Their commitment will truly lead to a better world for us all to prosper.

Rise!

Charles Tureaud and Kimberly Bailey Tureaud
