Greetings Good People! This year's Kwanzaa Table will feature "tales of the day", e.g. stories and lessons out of the days headlines that help us to remember that the principles of Kwanzaa do not simply honor the past or prepare for the future, but also define the core of how we can embrace and exist today.NIA! is the principle of the day - and it means purpose. The principle of NIA puts everything we do in perspective and suggests that everything we do can be done with purpose. As simple as carrying bags for your elders or as complicated as founding your own non-profit... The principal of NIA directs us to direct our actions toward the collective betterment of our community. This sense of purpose requires us to reckon with the fact that members of communities, such as the African American community, that have been marginalized, discriminated against, or historically abused, must constantly and consistently act with purpose. And that purpose is to continue the work nurturing, rebuilding, sustaining, and preserving our community and our culture. Spoiler alert: The same can be said for Allies of such communities.Finding your life's purpose is a journey, but acting with purpose is a daily event.What will you do today with the intent to support and build community and culture?In the news inspiration? How about a 4-year-old that feeds the homeless? ( Yeah, we all need to level up just a bit!)https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/austin-perine-alabama-4-year-old-superhero-using-his-power-to-feed-the-homeless/
