Kujichagulia | Kwanzaa 2025

Kwanzaa Day 2 of 7 | #Kujichagulia (Self-Determination): In 2025 I put some thought into how I wanted to "define my path". Spending time thinking about what kind of man and leader and mentor and husband and father I want to be, both in personal and professional spaces.

Years ago, I wrote this article: “Everything I Learned About Self-Promotion I Learned from The Princess Bride" (link below). I tried to share light-hearted lessons on confidently owning your narrative and building your brand. It speaks to how self-determination isn’t just about ambition—it’s about having clarity and unapologetic focus as you decide how you want to show up in the world.

[Remembering this article was also bitter-sweet, as The Princess Bride is of course one of the masterpieces of the late Rob Reiner. I pray for the strength of his family during their current tragedy.]

As I move into 2026, I’m committed to continuing this journey of self-definition. Looking forward to seeing how I develop. What kind of self-journey are you hoping for in this coming year?
