Happy Kwanzaa! Today is the second day of the seven day celebration of Black culture.
Today’s principle is my favorite one to say – Kujichagulia, which means self-determination. It’s about defining, defending, and developing ourselves, instead of allowing or encouraging others to do it.
Self-determination in action can look like saying no to things that do not serve you, your family, or your community, doing something that brings you joy, or deciding to do something that your fear has kept you from trying or achieving before.
Whatever it is, do it YOUR way for yourself and those you care about!
