The Locked Door with No Key: Why Ohio’s SB 153 Threatens Our Voting Rights Imagine being told you must enter a building to access your rights—to speak, to be counted, to shape the laws that govern your life. The door is locked, and you're told you need a key. But no one will tell you what kind of key you need. Some folks bring house keys. Others arrive with driver’s licenses, birth certificates, even passports. They jiggle them in the lock—nothing works. They aren’t denied because they’re unqualified. They’re denied because the rules changed without explanation. This is the danger behind Ohio’s Senate Bill 153 (SB 153)—a bill that hasn’t passed yet , but is already knocking on our community’s door. What Is SB 153? SB 153 is a proposed law—not yet passed —currently being considered by Ohio’s state legislature. It would require all voters to prove their citizenship before casting a ballot. That may sound fair on the surface—but the bill doesn’t define what “proof of citizenship” ac...

The Transformative Journey of the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge

The Transformative Journey of the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge


 In our continuous quest for personal growth and community empowerment, the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge stands as a beacon of transformation. This challenge, emerging from the foundational principles of the 224 self-help process, is more than just a routine—it’s a journey towards profound self-discovery and empowerment.

The Roots in 224 Self-Help Process: The journey begins with understanding the 224 self-help process—a revolutionary approach that encourages dedicating two hours every 24 hours to personal development. This method has been the bedrock of the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge, providing a structured yet flexible framework that promotes consistent self-improvement and discipline.

Understanding the Nguzo Saba: Nguzo Saba, the seven principles of African Heritage, are not just concepts but life-guiding principles that can profoundly transform our daily living. These principles include Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith). Each principle, when practiced diligently, opens a new dimension of understanding and connection with our heritage and community.

Embarking on the 21 Day Challenge: The 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge invites participants to deeply engage with each of these principles over three weeks. Each day is dedicated to understanding, reflecting, and implementing a specific principle in both personal and communal contexts.

Week 1 - Foundation Building: The first week is about laying the foundation. It starts with Umoja, focusing on building unity within oneself and the community. As the week progresses, each principle adds a layer of depth to our understanding of self and our connection to others.

Week 2 - Deepening Understanding: The second week is where deeper introspection happens. Principles like Ujamaa and Nia challenge us to look at our economic practices and our life's purpose. This week is crucial for aligning our daily actions with our long-term goals.

Week 3 - Actualization: In the final week, principles like Kuumba and Imani take center stage, encouraging creativity and reinforcing faith. This week is about actualizing the lessons learned and envisioning ways to carry these principles forward in our daily lives.

Transformation Beyond the Challenge: The 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge is not just a 21-day commitment; it’s a catalyst for lifelong transformation. Participants often report significant changes in their outlook on life, a stronger sense of community, and a deeper connection to their cultural heritage.


The 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge, grounded in the 224 self-help process, offers more than just self-improvement; it's a pathway to a richer, more connected life. It’s an invitation to embrace our heritage, build stronger communities, and grow in ways we never thought possible.

But the journey doesn’t end here. To delve deeper into this transformative experience and to join a community of like-minded individuals, we warmly invite you to join our Telegram group. This platform offers a space for ongoing dialogue, support, and sharing of insights as we collectively navigate our paths to self-mastery and community empowerment.
