Kwanzaa: Day Five
Today’s Principle: Nia (Purpose)
To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Each of us has the ability to do something great — we can, in a manner that is not ostentatious, rebuild ourselves. It can be something as simple as committing to teaching our children about their culture and history or committing to a standard of excellence in our everyday lives. When we can build ourselves up, it does not matter what the outside world’s perception of us is. There is an old African proverb that I carry with me — “It is not what you call us, it’s what we answer to that matters.”
