"To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness." 

======================= 

Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC exercises PURPOSE through its guidelines:  fellowship, citizenship, entrepreneurship, apprenticeship, partnership, mentorship, scholarship, ownership, leadership and STEWARDSHIP.

The fifth principle of the Nguzo Saba is Nia (nee-AH) which is essentially a commitment to the collective vocation of building, developing and defending our national community, its culture and history in order to regain our historical initiative and greatness as a people. The assumption here is that our role in human history has been and remains a key one, that we as an African people share in the grand human legacy Africa has given the world. That legacy is one of having not only been the fathers and mothers of humanity, but also the fathers and mothers of human civilization, i.e., having introduced in the Nile Valley civilizations the basic disciplines of human knowledge. It is this identity which gives us an overriding cultural purpose and suggests a direction. This is what we mean when we say we who are the father's and mothers of human civilization have no business playing the cultural children of the world. The principle of Nia (nee-AH) then makes us conscious of our purpose in light of our historical and cultural identity.
