The Evolution from the Cairo Question (2021) to Reimagine We (2026)
Wed Feb 04 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.
