There is a distinct difference between "making it through the day" and "shaping the day." For generations, our people have been masters of the second path. We’ve taken the most difficult circumstances and turned them into culture, rhythm, and resilience. But how do you tap into that power when you feel drained? How do you move from reacting to the chaos around you to being the architect of your own peace? In today’s episode, we explore the sacred principle of Kuumba and why your ability to create is actually your greatest political and spiritual act.

 The True Wealth of Being: Redefining Success Redefining Success Brothers and Sisters, in the relentless chase for what the world calls "success," we've been led astray, measuring our worth by what we accumulate rather than by the essence of our being. Reflecting on the profound words of Jim Rohn, "Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are," opens our eyes to a truth that resonates with the core of our journey at Gye-Nyame Journey (GNJ).
