On this fifth day of Kwanzaa, we celebrate Nia — the principle of purpose. Nia calls us to reflect on why we do what we do and how we contribute to the greater good of our families, communities, and the world. This should be no surprise to anyone that really knows me, but Nia is my favorite principle!!! Purpose is the driving force that transforms our actions into meaningful contributions. It challenges us to dream boldly, work diligently, and leave a lasting legacy. Today, I encourage you to take a moment to reconnect with your "why." What inspires you to show up each day? How do your goals align with the well-being and upliftment of your community? Let us live with intention and pursue our paths with clarity and determination. Together, we can build a brighter future rooted in purpose and unity. #Kwanzaa #Nia #Purpose #IntentionalLiving #CommunityImpact

If you follow people from other communities and Cultures now you’ll know how to interact with them comfortably, confidently and respectfully at any time. You can’t “just treat everyone equally” if different people have different needs and different definitions of respect. For example; since I follow many Indigenous people on Turtle Island I know how Christianity was a major player in their Residential School genocide and I would know how damaging supporting todays active Residential schools is. (As they have been open hundreds of years and profit off the rebrand of their residential school to “A school for Indian Children”. ) So when these “good people” find multiple effective marketing strategies for getting donations, I see their business is a public image nightmare waiting for its Historical crimes to implode all over themselves and any company donating to them in Kind ignorance. Since I follow multiple people in the Dwarfism Community I know how tired they are of being written into fantasies as a different species and how the characters these actors play never have their own personal story. And how people just want to talk about their height all the time and don’t just have a conversation like we do with everyone. And I know there is a very real problem with strangers just picking them up like their a little kid. Can you imagine going about your day and being concerned a perfect stranger will pick you up and throw you around because it happens to people a lot in your community? I can write about this all day. And different communities and cultures have similar struggles and understandably support each other. So when Hana (The Youngest member of NZ Parliament) rips up two pages that have historically caused damage to her Māori people’s culture and Hakas in Parliament, I know why the Worlds Indigenous people share pride and support. I know why reporters are stepping in pickles because they use words like “Dance” and “Preform” while describing the Māori’s Haka. As this is not a dance performance it’s a cultural gesture that holds space for others of that culture to join in support. A mild comparison could be when your favorite team has a little chant, and your at an opposing team’s stadium on their side, and they’re winning and your in a hotdog line concerned they’re running out and someone in the line got the last four hotdogs and in excitement starts your teams chant, so you don’t think you say the thing to. Do the gestures in sync. You two are both excited and he hands you two spare hotdogs no charge. Did you two just preform a dance to disrupt everyone? No, you bonded in support with a team ritual. You supported your team while outnumbered in the enemy hot dog line. You got emotional support. This is a small vibe of what the Haka is. Most definitely not a dance performance. I know I write excessively but… just, just follow people. They tell you how everything.

Day 5 of Kwanzaa: Nia (Purpose) Today, we celebrate Nia, the principle of Purpose. Nia calls us to dedicate ourselves to building and developing our communities with the aim of restoring our people to their traditional greatness. It reminds us that our collective work has meaning, and when we align our efforts toward a common goal, we create lasting impact. At Kenisha Coon Consulting, we encourage everyone to reflect on their purpose—how can we use our skills, knowledge, and passion to contribute to the collective advancement of our community? Let’s keep building toward a future rooted in greatness. What’s your purpose? How are you helping build and strengthen the community around you? #Kwanzaa2024 #Nia #Purpose #CommunityBuilding #KenishaCoonConsulting

Happy Kwanzaa! Today is Umoja, the first principle of Kwanzaa, a week-long celebration that emphasizes the importance of unity in the family, community, nation, and race. Meaning: Umoja is a Swahili word that means "unity". Importance: Umoja is rooted in the African philosophy of collectivism, which prioritizes the well-being of the group. It encourages people to work together, support each other, and stand united to overcome challenges. Some ways to practice unity today include: Having meaningful discussions with family and friends. Volunteering in the community and showing kindness to others. #Umoja #Unity #Kwanzaa

Habari Gani! (What's the news?) Today marks the First Day of Kwanzaa - Umoja (Unity) Day! Elevated Strategies Group honors African heritage and principles guiding us towards stronger communities. Umoja reminds us: together we rise, together we thrive. How will you cultivate unity in your community today? #Kwanzaa2023 #Umoja #UnityInAction #NonprofitValues #CommunityFirst

DAY 6 OF KWANZA - Kuumba. Creativity - To always do as much as we can to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than when we inherited it. Day six of Kwanzaa involves using innovation and creativity to solve problems and improve the community. On December 31st, the sixth day of Kwanzaa, a joyous celebration called a Karamu (kah-RAH-moo) is held, with food, drink, dance, music and gift giving with family and friends. It is a time of reassessment and recommitment to the seven principles of Kwanzaa. As is traditional each night, participants greet each other with Habari gani (Ha-ba-ri ga-ni) or What is the news with you? On day six, celebrants reflect on the principle of Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah), which means creativity. The goal of Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) is to do everything possible to make a difference and leave the community in better condition than what was inherited. The principle implies a daily investment in the future, or a donation to eternity. As the sixth candle is lit, we remember that each night’s candle lighting is significant. The black candle represents the people, the three red candles represent the struggle they have endured, and the three green candles represent the hope that comes from the struggle. At the end of each night’s celebration Harambee! (hah-RAHM-beh) is called out, meaning “Let’s pull together!”

Unveiling the Tapestry of Giving: Almsgiving Traditions Across Religions #Islam, #Charity, #Religion, #Philosophy unveiling-the-tapestry-of-giving-almsgiving-traditions-across-religions Explore the beautiful tapestry of almsgiving traditions across Islam & other religions. Discover the philosophy behind Zakat, Sadqa, Aqeeqah, Fitrana & Khums, alongside Charity & Donations in various faiths. Throughout history, various religious traditions have woven a rich tapestry of giving, each thread imbued with profound philosophies. In Islam, the concept of almsgiving transcends mere monetary transactions, encompassing a deep spiritual dimension. This article delves into the multifaceted nature of Islamic almsgiving, exploring its pillars alongside charitable practices in other religions. Zakat: The cornerstone of Islamic charity, Zakat is a mandatory purification of wealth, ensuring its equitable distribution and fostering social responsibility. It cultivates compassion and strengthens the bonds of a community. Sadqa: Encompassing voluntary charitable acts, Sadqa allows individuals to express gratitude for their blessings and connect with the less fortunate. It embodies the spirit of selflessness and transcends material limitations. Aqeeqah: An offering of sacrifice on the occasion of a child's birth, Aqeeqah signifies gratitude for the precious gift of life and serves as a reminder of our inherent responsibility towards the well-being of future generations. Fitrana: A compulsory charity distributed before Eid al-Fitr, Fitrana ensures that everyone can celebrate the joyous occasion with dignity, fostering social harmony and inclusivity. Khums: Specific to Shia Islam, Khums refers to a one-fifth share of certain assets designated for charitable purposes and the support of religious institutions. It upholds the principle of social justice and ensures the well-being of the community. Charity and Donations in Other Religions: Across faiths, the act of giving holds immense significance. From the Tzedakah in Judaism to the Dana (almsgiving) in Christianity, charitable practices promote compassion, alleviate suffering, and cultivate a sense of interconnectedness. By fostering a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of almsgiving traditions, we can cultivate a more compassionate and equitable world. As we explore the philosophies woven into the very fabric of giving, we discover the profound impact such acts can have on both the giver and the receiver. https://lnkd.in/dEtJj9Fv
