IMANI: Because Sometimes Faith Is All You’ve Got

Habari Gani, cousins? Imani should be your answer! We’ve reached the seventh and final principle. The one that ties all the others together. And it’s my favorite, for deeply personal reasons. Imani asks us to believe. Believe in ourselves. Believe in our people. Believe in our ancestors
