Embracing the Journey of Self-Determination: A Guide to Unlocking Life's Hidden Treasures   To our Beloved Tribe and Extended Family, As we celebrate the week of Ujima, a Swahili term encapsulating the principle of collective work and responsibility, we find ourselves immersed in the abundance that life graciously offers.
