The Family Behind Central Texas Juneteenth

Host Nikki DaVaughn sits down with Shanisha Johnson, the public relations and volunteer coordinator for Central Texas Juneteenth, which kicks off with a parade in East Austin on Saturday.

We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor. Want some more Austin news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Austin newsletter.
