Kwanzaa Day 2: Self Determination

Kujichagulia or Self-Determination

A moment of reflection:

Where has your self-determination led you in the past year?

I started and finished my friend Nirete’s 6 month program of nourishing my soul and connecting with my mind, body, spirit and ancestors
I started and finished a Wilderness First Responder course
Had my family over for my birthday. Our first get together in years!
Led me to trying to stay connected with myself more. Meditation.
Led me to producing and recording a couple songs, made an art series for a friend and shot pics for a band! Self-Determined in being an artist!

Where do you want self-determination to lead you this upcoming year? (I would like to be self-determined in....)

Pursuing any art form and seeing the whole project through no matter how tough or discouraging
Helping my community more by being a role model/leader in living life off the beaten path
Keeping in touch with my mind/body/spirit through meditation, exercise and spiritual practices

Happy Kwanzaa 🖤❤️💚
