Umoja! Unity!
Strategic Unity is one of the most important concepts and processes we need to be practicing politically, spiritually, emotionally, and mindfully, as we move into 2023. We must find where we have Unity and what we agree on. We must unite together across all of our artificial barriers, boundaries, isms, and perceived separations. It is imperative that we are united and strategic. Let's come together and create a powerful, conscious, progressive, and united front to build the future for communities, ourselves, our families, and our children.
