February 13th-19th is NIA(Purpose) Week! We all have a purpose but the struggle is finding our collective purpose! We are obviously unwanted here in the USA this is why our youth are convicted in the womb! The Motherland needs us desperately and the African Diaspora can not maintain with out our pulling together (Harambee)! What will you do to pull us together for the purpose of re-building the African Nation?

July 31st-August 6th & August 7th-September 3rd we recognize and implement the principles of IMANI/Faith & UMOJA/Unity there is never a time when we should be faithless it is a spiritual expression of knowing not hoping! We are at a lose as a people for Unity although we all know it is the solution to most of our collective issues we also acknowledge that it is a very difficult task. Challengers should make an effort to unify with those who share your vision! The righteousness and victory of our struggle is in our hands...
