KUJICHAGULIA PRINCIPLE 2. SELF-INITIATIVE AND SELF-RESPECT KUJICHAGULIA (CO-GEE-CHA-GOO-LEE-AH) SELF-DETERMINATION: To define ourselves, to name ourselves, speak for ourselves and create for ourselves. The second principle is a commitment to building our lives in our own images and interests. If we, as a people, are to achieve our goals we must take the responsibility for that achievement upon ourselves, for self-determination is the essence of freedom. This day calls for a reaffirmation of our commitment to struggle for all people of African descent, particularly those of us here in America, to build a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Explanation The Kujichagulia principle says African Americans need defined and practice their own cultural values, celebrate their heroes and heroines, and contribute in their own way to bettering themselves, their communities and institutions, the nation and the world. The essence of self-determination is freedom. 📸 Aderon Mothersill @aderonmothersill ________ #flashbackfriday #haririnantacollection #fw17 #liligirl #notjustwax #africanfashion #womensclothing #womeninbusiness #womenpreneur #handmadeclothing #isew #handmadefashion #asobei_fashions #fashionstylekilla #fashiondesigner #indiedesigner #oneofakind #fashiontrends #styletrends #blackfashiondesigners #supportsmallbusiness #supportblackbusiness #liliscreations #liliscreativedesign #liligirloutfits #sewistsofinstagram #ilovehamdmade #bellacanvas https://www.instagram.com/p/B6k8LODhfIZ/?igshid=19ceuppszbrfn
