Happy Kwanzaa! Today is the first day of Kwanzaa and it's been a tradition my family has celebrated for as long as I can remember. Growing up I didn't celebrate Christmas so while all my friends opened their Christmas presents, I knew that I had the end of Kwanzaa to look forward to. Kwanzaa is celebrated over 7 days starting on 12/26 and ending on 1/1. Each day is themed and has a meaning. Today is Umoja! Umoja means unity. Today I reflect on the principle of unity that allows us to take different approaches to a common goal. I see so many educators discussing different approaches to achieving financial empowerment or financial freedom within personal finance that sometimes feels like we are competing with one another based on : * The credentials or designations we carry * Our lived vs learned experiences * Who our target audience is * Etc. We are all working towards a more informed and financially educated population and there is enough room for all of us! We also don't have to wear every hat to serve our audiences. Referrals are a great way to grow community and enhance credibility. What are ways you reflect on "Unity" within your audience and community? #Kwanzaa #Unity #Umoja #financialfreedom
This is great. I reflect on unity by understanding my value and how that value can be useful in the collective unity of the community that I'm apart of.
Happy Kwanzaa!
