Folsom
What you do is not necessarily unique. But your story and the impact you're making is. In a world where the things you do, the products and services you provide, are things that dozens of others are doing, how do you make yourself stand out? You share your story. People connect to PEOPLE, not products and services. And in a world where our thoughts divide, our feelings will unite. Jamie will help you switch the gears in your marketing minds to stray you away from the traditional self-promo type videos that most people use to create video content that ultimately gets overlooked. Jamie will show you the difference in creating content that focuses on your WHAT and instead help you focus on your WHY. This webinar is aimed to help organizations find and share their stories so that people care about WHO you are, not WHAT you do. Jamie will guide you through finding your focus when creating a video, bringing out the most important, emotive parts and weaving it together to create a story that will receive good attention online and help promote your business and call to action. Video is incredibly important in today's world. It's how everyone consumes information. After this webinar, you'll walk away with a better understanding of how to tell your own story and how it could make a tremendous difference in making YOU stand out.

Proposal for an Official Juneteenth Holiday in the City of Folsom | Folsom City Hall
May 27, 2025 (UTC-7)ENDED
Folsom
The authentic local historic journey of 1844 Rancho Rio de Los Americanos , 1848 Negro Bar Townsite, Granite City and 1856 City of Folsom includes many early California Pioneers of Pan African Ancestry.
Sharing the authentic documented story remains a difficult and challenging task to tell, yet essential to share our local path to the end of the US Civil War in 1865.
This year is our 25th Anniversary of Folsom Juneteenth, together we have offered a quarter century of local education, positive advocacy utilizing primary source documents and featured a California hub of our Underground Railroad Network tonFreedom, only to be rejected for a season.
After becoming a Title 5 Federal Holiday, June 22 our CA State Legislature and State Parks chose to alter local reality and then finance a "comprehensive study" to include local Folsom History.
Unaccounted for spending millions of tax payer resources to reimagining local history by Los Angeles based scholars, is seemingly valued by most.
BMB is a false narrative, erasing reality of our unique history during the transition from Mexican rule to American rule, (1840-1875.)
Future generations, of Folsom youth and students may the false current narrative that Black Miners were simply happy, singing, dancing and getting drunk at the bar, still no interpretive education or connection to Historic Folsom.
Together, an aligned official Folsom Juneteenth Holiday can reflect deeply on accurate local history that helps to preserving the Union as we began to officially end chattel slavery at the close of our bloody and costly US Civil War, the reason for Juneteenth 1865, Port Galveston Island, Texas.
