Celebrating Kwanzaa… it’s the 5thday and the principle for today is Nia, which means purpose.
Today’s principle is about building and developing our community to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
You’ve got to know you’re great to be great… I was joking around at the store this weekend with the young man who was bagging my groceries and I ended it by telling him he could do whatever he wanted to do. Then he said to me, “Thank you for saying that to me because nobody in my family ever has.”
Y’all… we need to pour into our young people in a way that makes them believe in themselves and their greatness in a way that keeps it going and helps them see their way forward.
Happy Kwanzaa!
