I love our 2026 artwork! 😍😍😍

The original art for our 2026 DURMNIK Juneteenth Celebration has dropped 🎉! Local artist Anacandraw created this year’s collectible poster.

📣 In Ana’s words, “I’m incredibly honored to be this year’s artist for DURMNIK’s illustrated poster! The history behind DURMNIK is truly inspiring and I hope everyone gets to enjoy all the excitement of the celebration.”

🖼️ We’ll have poster prints of Ana’s artwork available during the DURMNIK picnic for $7 each, WHILE THEY LAST (Limited supply! In person only at Saltbox Seafood Joint on June 19th, 10:30am-Noon, pay by credit card).

My friend Rick Sebak mentioned using Duolingo on a podcast last year and I started that day. Thanks for the inspiration, Rick! After living in France my junior year of high school, I've always tried different language programs so I wouldn't lose my French. 🇫🇷❤️🥰 😍😍😍

Here's a link to the podcast where he mentioned his incredible streak on Duolingo! 😯 They also talked food, Pittsburgh, NC and more! 😍
