Terrence J Wants Companies To Count Juneteenth As A Paid Holiday

Actor and TV host Terrence J wants businesses across the country to get with the times and finally count Juneteenth as a day out of the office.

Terrence was at a Juneteenth Foundation ceremony in D.C. Thursday, and says he thinks the companies that are lacking need to step up to the plate — noting the new federal holiday is a big part of American culture.

He says companies need to take a step back to see where society’s at right now to understand why it’s so crucial … June 19th will mark the 2nd year it’s federally recognized, but not every company is counting it as a day off.

As for other holidays, the guy thinks there are some we give a little too much attention to … won’t say which, but he’s always got Juneteenth on his mind.

He’s got his thoughts about the recent tone-deaf marketing in stores, too … Terrence is gung-ho for the recognition of Juneteenth, but hopes companies can learn to rep the day more respectfully.
