Today’s exploration of Kujichagulia within the cycle of Ujima hits hard on a tension many of us feel: the struggle to define ourselves while carrying the weight of a community. We often mistake "noise" for truth and "buildup" for identity. What happens when we stop trying to "fit in" like a Simba in a sheep’s herd and start roaring our own truth?

and raise my glass to my bliss.
I raise my shades to the sunrise
and raise my voice when I'm pissed.
I'll raise a question for thinkers
the politicians I say to:
for those of them that think they're GOD
who do you pray to?
