If Everyone Does a Little, No One Has to Do a Lot: A Lesson in Collective Responsibility

If Everyone Does a Little, No One Has to Do a Lot: A Lesson in Collective Responsibility The thoughts have been hitting me hard lately, and I realized I need to get back to blogging on a daily basis. Of course, I’m always doing too much, but I wanted to dedicate some time each day to writing. My idea was to align my blogs with the principles of the Nguzo Saba—so, for example, today being Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), I could write something that connects to that concept.

July's GNJ Mall

Image
Come on out and join us for this months market day. We will be celebrating Queen Mother Moore, and hosting a discussion about reparations. This will be a Mall to remember, and the information that you will get, will help you see the importance for our people to fight for what is ours. Of course all the regular vendors will be in the house and hopefully thanks to you helping spread the word we may have some new vendors as well. Come out and join the conversation that will be starting at 2pm. Also let us know if you have a skill, talent, or a subject that you would like to share during the Mall, we can schedule a time for you to present at a future mall. By the way there is still vendor space open, so get in contact with Brother ha2tim if you are interested at 614-260-7150. Come on out and bring three friends!
