The Thatch and the Spark: Reclaiming Kuumba within Kujichagulia https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-thatch-and-the-spark--72513557 "The rain falls on every roof, but it stays longest on the one that is well thatched." Pull up a chair on the porch, family. Let’s sit with that ancestral medicine for a minute. Right now, we are standing firmly on a day of Kuumba (Creativity) , positioned directly in the middle of a week of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) , all while navigating the larger cycle of Ujima (Collective Work) .

Sometimes it's a book, a map, gift, and if you are lucky  a person. During one of my lost moments, I happened to be on TED.com looking for videos.

It was something I had being doing but did not know what to call it. By being introduced to this idea, I have cha...
