How Kwanzaa and Kujichagulia Shape My 2026 Vision

The same principles that guide my business decisions are the ones I use to anchor my home. 

Celebrating Kwanzaa this winter feels particularly resonant. As I reflect on Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), I’m reminded that as leaders, our greatest power isn’t just in the seats we occupy, but in the cultures we build and the legacies we protect.

For me, hosting is an act of stewardship. It’s about creating a space where excellence and tradition sit at the same table. Taking this time to reset and realign was much needed before a massive 2026. 🥂✨
