Enter a brave space to ponder solving The Cairo Question. Engage in dialogue based on the premise that dismantling racism goes beyond laws and legislation or politics or economics. It's an inside job where personal transformation and accountability impact social change in multiple dimensions: individual, interpersonal, systemic, and structural. It's a place to get comfortable with deconstructing your inner thoughts, ideas, and beliefs to examine what flows out into the world through your words, actions, and behaviors, particularly towards others who are different from yourself.

  • Reimagine We: An Evolutionary Empowerment Process

    Reimagine We: An Evolutionary Empowerment Process
    Feb 18 2026
    Two Different Meanings of Empowerment: You’ve probably heard the word empowerment your entire life. We hear it in leadership programs, self-help books, professional development, coaching, even politics. And usually when people use the word, they mean something very specific.
    Most empowerment models are built around one central idea: Helping a person increase their ability to achieve desired outcomes. Empowerment becomes confidence, skill-building, productivity, influence, or power. You learn to set goals and to improve communication. You become more assertive. You advance in your career. You gain authority. Traditional empowerment makes this fundamental assumption: If individuals become more capable, then society improves by becoming effective.
    Reimagine We defines empowerment differently based on this fundamental question: Why do highly capable, intelligent, educated, successful people still struggle deeply in relationships, conflict, and social understanding? Two people can have the same training, same education, same professional success — and still walk into the same conversation and experience completely different realities. While traditional empowerment strengthens what a person can do, it does not necessarily examine how a person interprets other human beings.
    Society improves when people interpret each other with greater awareness, clarity, dignity, and understanding. This is why highly successful organizations, institutions, and communities can still become dysfunctional. They have skilled individuals but unexamined perceptions amongst and between those individuals. Why is that? Because behavior doesn’t come directly from knowledge. Behavior comes from meaning. And meaning comes from worldview.
    Worldview is the lens through which we interpret intention, fairness, respect, threat, and belonging. And most of us didn’t consciously build that lens. We absorbed it — from family experience, community narratives, emotional memories, and cultural expectations. Reimagine We defines empowerment differently. Empowerment is not only the ability to act effectively. It is the growing awareness of the lens through which we experience other human beings. By understanding worldviews, individuals can foster a more inclusive, harmonious, and cooperative society.
    Audience Questions1) Who or what most shaped how you see “people like you” vs “people different from you”?
    2) If you had grown up in a different family or culture, how certain are you your conclusions would be the same?
    3) Do you usually assume strangers are safe, suspicious, or irrelevant — and where did that expectation come from?

  • The Evolution from the Cairo Question (2021) to Reimagine We (2026)

    The Evolution from the Cairo Question (2021) to Reimagine We (2026)
    Feb 4 2026
    2026 Theme: “Reimagine We Begins with Reimagine Me.” Preamble to the “Reimagine We” Declaration of Engagement:We live in a world built on extraction, not relationship.
    It was designed to consume people, land, labor, and spirit in the name of profit, power, and dominance. It taught us competition instead of cooperation, hoarding instead of sharing, and alienation instead of belonging. It told us that our worth is measured by productivity.
    That our humanity is conditional.
    We reject the principles of extraction and embrace the principles of cooperation, relationship, and collaboration.Key principles of healthy relationships include mutual respect, trust, and affection. Additionally, understanding and addressing each other's needs, effective communication, and conflict resolution are essential for building strong collaboration.
    We begin this episodic conversation with a continuation of the significance of Kwanzaa Principles as more than a year-end celebration. Here the principles are defined as a blueprint for collective liberation: Unity. Self-Determination. Collective Work & Responsibility. Cooperative Economics. Purpose, Creativity. Faith.

    Something is shifting. What we were told was permanent is being questioned in real time. This is not simply chaos—it’s an inflexion point. Or perhaps more precisely, a rupture. A rupture not chosen; but triggered. The point, however, is not the trigger. The point is our response. A moment when the future can bend toward what we choose to rethink and rebuild. But we cannot reimagine society without first reimagining ourselves. Remember this: Every system reflects the beliefs of the society that created it.Welcome to InflexionPoint Podcast. Where Reimagine We begins with Reimagine Me.

  • Reimagine We Begins with Reimagine Me: Kwanzaa as a Blueprint for Collective Liberation

    Reimagine We Begins with Reimagine Me: Kwanzaa as a Blueprint for Collective Liberation
    Jan 21 2026
    Opening statement of the “Reimagine We” Declaration of Engagement:We live in a world built on extraction, not relationship. It was designed to consume people, land, labor, and spirit in the name of profit, power, and dominance. It taught us competition instead of cooperation, hoarding instead of sharing, and alienation instead of belonging. It told us that our worth is measured by productivity; that our humanity is conditional; and that some lives are disposable.

    Reimagine We rejects the principles of extraction and embraces the principles of relationship, engagement, and connection. Key principles of healthy relationships include mutual respect, trust, and affection. Additionally, understanding and addressing each other's needs, effective communication, and conflict resolution are essential for building strong connections. We begin this new journey with a focus on hyper-individualism, Kwanzaa, and the fight for collective liberation.

    America's Hyper-Individualism. America worships individualism; not health individualism by hyper-individualism. Yet it begs us to consider two questions: Do we recognize that a society built on individualism will eventually devour its own people? What if we were to shift from individualism to collective agency?Kwanzaa was never meant to be just another holiday. It is a warning and a blueprint. It is a systems design manual for liberated people.

    Kwanzaa was created in1966 during a time of crisis—not to decorate the moment, but to orient a people.
    It was designed to reconnect African American with African values. The name Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili phrase, meaning first fruits, symbolizing harvest, renewal, and responsibility to the community. At its core, Kwanzaa asks a timeless question: What does it mean to be accountable to one another as a people? And that question is just as relevant now as it was in 1966.
    Our audience is encouraged to consider these questions: (1) Which Kwanzaa principle do I resonate with most in my life? (2) Which do I need to live more fully in my own life this year? Ask yourself these questions because transformation is not something we join; it is something we become.
