Happy New Year, family — and Happy Kwanzaa.
Today we close Kwanzaa with Imani — Faith: faith in ourselves, faith in our people, and faith in the future we are building together. As we step into this new year, I wanted to personally invite you to explore what has been unfolding behind the scenes: - BlackWallStreet100.com — where the movement continues to take shape, grounded in history, economics, and collective responsibility. - AJSmitherman.com — the home of the A.J. Smitherman Foundation, where you can JOIN THE NEWSLETTER to stay connected to new resources, programming, and updates as we preserve and protect the historical record. This work is about more than websites or announcements, it's about belief — belief that our stories matter, belief that truth deserves stewardship, and belief that what we build together can endure. Thank you for being here, for your faith, and for walking into this new year with intention. With gratitude and respect, Raven 🖤 Imani
