Happy Kwanzaa from George Kilpatrick Inspiration for the Nation! We’re Living the 7 Principles with Evelyn Ingram, Director of Community Engagement at Wegmans and co-owner of “The Castle“, as she talks about Nia and purpose restoration and building our community.

To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world …. as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (Nelson Mandela)

Kwanzaa Day 4: Ujamaa with Davine Bey on Inspiration for the Nation

Happy Kwanzaa from George Kilpatrick Inspiration for the Nation! Davine Bey, Head of Talent Management at Syracuse University, shares the principle of Ujamaa or Cooperative Economics, maintaining and supporting our communities economically.

This is one way for the community to grow, create and generate new wealth. I love the idea of cash mobs, so you and 10 of your friends decide that you are going to spend each to make a small-business person happy. The big- box stores can wait.
