Peace Family! ✌🏾✌🏾
As the day stretches on, let's take a moment to reflect on the significance of this Thanksgiving holiday, beyond the standard narratives. It's a time to honor our ancestors, acknowledge our present-day struggles, and empower the generations to come.
Ancestral Wisdom, Passed Down 🕯️
During this family gathering, make time to share the stories of your elders. What lessons can we glean from their experiences of overcoming adversity? How can we apply their resilience to our own lives?
Remember, It's Choosing Season. Today, we choose to listen, to learn, and to carry on the legacy of those who paved the way for us.
Addressing Present-Day Challenges 🗣️
As you connect with loved ones, don't shy away from the tough conversations. Discuss the realities of systemic racism, economic disparities, and the ongoing fight for justice. Strategize ways you can collectively make a difference in your community.
After all, We Didn't Come To Be Defeated. We came to confront the uncomfortable truths and chart a new course for the future.
Empowering the Next Generation 👨👩👧👦
Look around the table - see the faces of those who will inherit this world. What do you want them to know? What strengths and values do you want to impart?
Use this time to inspire the young people in your life. Encourage them to dream big, to stand tall, and to never stop fighting for a more equitable future.
Don't Forget To Hold Yourself Accountable. Are you modeling the change you wish to see? Are you ensuring your family's celebration aligns with your principles?
That's that, that's facts, and remember my people, We Didn't Come To Be Defeated. Let's honor our past, address our present, and empower our future. Together, we'll keep moving forward. 🙏🏾✊🏾
