Blood Isn’t Always Thicker Than Water: The Power of Chosen Family
They say that blood is thicker than water, but sometimes, there is no blood bond around. As a college student studying abroad, I found myself in a foreign country with no family by my side. My host family, though not related by blood, welcomed me with open arms. Almost instantly, I became a brother and an uncle, embraced as one of their own. Now, more than thirty years later, I am still called “uncle” and “brother,” a testament to the deep, unbreakable bonds we forged.
This experience embodies NAHREP’s 10 Disciplines, specifically Discipline #10: Be Active in the Lives of Your Family and Children (Learn more), because Familia is central to who we are. But family is not always defined by genetics—it’s defined by love, support, and shared experiences.
I see the same spirit reflected in Dan Nzinga and the community he has built. Through 21-day challenges, weekly Zoom calls, and constant mentorship, Dan has created his own family of coaches, trainers, and leaders who support one another in their personal and professional growth. He doesn’t just teach—he cares, guides, and inspires. His leadership has cultivated a self-made family that rallies around him and uplifts those who follow his path.
Every day, Dan delivers a dose of positivity and growth, reminding us that our true family isn’t always the one we’re born into—it’s the one we choose, the one that chooses us, and the one that pushes us to become better versions of ourselves.
Well done, Dan! Keep inspiring and leading your extended family to greatness.
