Nia, meaning purpose, illuminates our path on the fifth day of Kwanzaa. Rooted in Swahili, Nia encourages us to set and pursue collective goals that benefit the community. In the historical context of Kwanzaa, Nia emerged as a call to restore African American communities after the Watts Riots. Today, let's reflect on our individual and collective purposes. What goals drive you, and how can they contribute to the betterment of our community? #Kwanzaa #Nia #Purpose #US2Inc #US2Consulting

"Together, Canadians must do more than just talk about reconciliation; we must learn how to practise reconciliation in our everyday lives—within ourselves and our families, and in our communities, governments, places of worship, schools, and workplaces." I align with above extract from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Volume One: Summary: Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future.

"Many missionaries and missions organizations do not know where to turn with their facility needs.

On June 3rd, we commemorate the Mabo decision, a landmark milestone in the fight for land rights and the recognition of Indigenous sovereignty. Mabo Day is a day of celebration, reflection, and ongoing advocacy for the rights and recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples'. It honours the legacy of Eddie Mabo and serves as a reminder of the ongoing journey toward justice, equality, and respect for Indigenous Australians. However, the struggle continues. Issues such as land access, cultural preservation, and social justice remain critical for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities. So, here's an idea 💡 Before engaging in activities that impact the land, consider its significance. Ask yourself if the land you are affecting holds sacred connections, memories, and teachings for those who have already lost so much. Make it your responsibility to consult with Indigenous Custodians and seek permission respectfully. It's not just about the land; it's about the spiritual connection, the memories of ancestors, and the empowerment and significance it holds for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' today. #MaboDay #Respect #Understanding #Responsibility
