History isn’t just a storybook. It’s a mirror, and sometimes a magnifying glass. As Juneteenth approaches, many leaders glance back at the past with reverence. Fewer, however, ask what it means to truly lead forward with the weight of that past in view.

At DCH Coaching, I work with leaders who want to create meaningful impact. And around this time each year, there’s a particular invitation worth sitting with: How do we honor the legacy of freedom, resilience, and resistance in our leadership today?

Because legacy isn’t a monument. It’s a practice.
