June is Caribbean American Heritage Month https://caribbeanamericanmonth.com/

June is Pride Month.  There are two Pride parades this year.  Check with your LGBTQIA+ friends of color to determine which, if either, they want you to support.  I believe Pride 365 is the more inclusive one, and it’s on June 29.

Houston Museum of African American Culture has exhibits all month and a film screening June 12 https://hmaac.org/

Resmaa Menakem workshops on somatic abolitionism, several dates, some specifically for therapists https://blackoctopussociety.com/workshops-intensives/
