The six day of kwanza we celebrate the principle of Kuumba(Creativity) which means to do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it. The principle has both a social and spiritual dimension and is deeply rooted in the social and sacred teachings of African societies. The principle of kuumba teaches us to do better in every aspect, it encourages us to multiply anything we receive through intentional and sustainable growth of self and nation. Kuumba ni kujitegemea! Creativity is self-sufficiency and sustainability! #kwanza #kwanzakuumba #happykwanza #kwanza2023 #creativity #selfawareness #sustainability #socialandspiritualtransformation

Empowering people to find clarity, confidence, roaring courage, purpose, and self-worth so they can find their treasure instead of focusing on their troubles.
I am super excited to be combining the power of #CoactiveCoaching and cycling to embark on an incredible journey of empowering and tooling boys and exceptional young men in the heart of Maasai to embrace reading, education, courage, character and conscience that they need to treat women, girls, themeselves and others with honor, respect and dignity. When I was growing up, reading and football were two things that saved from me getting into conflict, alcohol and drug abuse. The only missing link was finding men who could hold my hands, point me towards greatness and help me grow my treasure instead of focusing on trouble. Thanks to the ongoing training that I am getting from being part of the Co-Active Training Institute, front of the room leaders and peer coaches, I am able to develop the capacity, tools and the courage that I need to continue leading Lifesong Kenya as we keep touching and impacting the lives of boys and exceptional young men who need a second chance and healing from stigma and trauma. As a result, I am now more open to creating a safe space at our Halfway House so more boys who have been sexually abused, neglected, exploited or wrongfully incarcerated can find a place to call home. Before Co-Active, I used to struggle and think that I had made a mistake by pursuing a mission that, in Kenya, looks impossible and riddled with lots of challenges, hurdles and stigma. I am learning that the universe does provide resources, networks, people and funding that makes it possible for dreamers like me to continue creating solutions that the world needs, even if it is just watching our boys play football at the foot of Ngong Hills: https://lnkd.in/eVrBipbh #KeepingBoysInSchool #CoActiveCoaching #CoActiveLeadership #EducationForAll #EducatingBoys #LifesongForMothers #LifesongKenya

⚽ Celtic vs Rangers: More Than Just a Game🌏 In the world of football, few rivalries carry as much historical, religious, and cultural significance as the Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers. Celtic and Rangers are not just football clubs; they are institutions representing the complex tapestry of Scottish identity. Here's why: 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐜: Founded in 1887 by Irish Marist Brother Walfrid, Celtic has strong ties to the Catholic community and Irish diaspora. The club was established to raise funds for Irish immigrant families in East Glasgow. 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬: Established in 1872, Rangers became associated with the Protestant community and British Unionism. The club's support base grew from Glasgow's Protestant community. It had an unwritten rule that only Protestant players could join, a policy broken in 1989 by Graham Souness. The term "Old Firm" originated from the first meeting of these clubs, which was referred to as "like old, firm friends." However, over time, it came to symbolize the enduring rivalry and complex relationship between the two clubs and their supporters, reflecting broader societal divisions. The first Old Firm match was played on May 28, 1888, with Celtic defeating Rangers 5-2. Rangers fans are often considered native Scotsmen and British Union loyalists, while Celtic fans represent Irish Catholics. The rivalry stems from the migration of these two groups to Scotland, leading to tension in a city that became segregated. The hatred was fueled by religious differences, competition for jobs and housing, and other factors. While Glasgow is no longer as sectarian as it once was—about 60% of its residents do not identify with a religion—the division has shifted to a focus on national identity. Celtic fans are often seen as Irish, Catholic, and potentially supportive of the IRA, while Rangers supporters are British-Scottish, Protestant, and monarchist. The story of this rivalry helps us understand the current situation in the United Kingdom, especially after Brexit. The two key issues that could destabilize the country are: 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝: the Irish identity represented by the Celtic fanbase is closely linked to the question of Northern Ireland. Tensions in Belfast have risen since Brexit, with potential for further escalation. 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Scotland voted to remain in the EU during the Brexit vote. Glasgow's desire for another referendum to leave the United Kingdom and potentially rejoin the EU reflects broader separatist sentiments. As London rebuilds the idea of Great Britain, these issues will be among the most challenging to manage in the coming years. The Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers is a powerful reminder of football's ability to mirror and magnify societal issues. It tells a story of rivalry and unity, division and identity, deeply intertwined with the history and ethnic makeup of Scotland and the UK.

The Barbie Dream Gap Project is a global initiative launched by Mattel in 2018 to address the barriers that prevent girls from reaching their full potential. Research has shown that starting at age five, girls begin to doubt their abilities more than boys, influenced by stereotypes and societal biases. The project aims to close this gap by challenging gender stereotypes and providing girls with the resources and support they need to continue believing in themselves. Key elements of the project includes: UCLA’s Center for Scholars & Storytellers developed a curriculum that supports social-emotional development and encourages interest in STEM careers among young girls. Collaborations with organizations like Inspiring Girls International to deliver Dream Gap workshops and reach thousands of girls worldwide. Since 2019, Barbie has donated $250,000 annually to non-profits working directly with girls. The Barbie Dream Gap Project is empowering girls globally by challenging stereotypes and supporting their limitless potential and inspiring the next generation of female leaders through education, partnerships, and annual donations.
