ABSTRACT
These are my remarks from the first annual Praxis Lecture at the 2021 annual meeting of the National Association for Kinesiology in Higher Education (NAKHE). In this essay, I share highlights of my nearly 30-year journey as a member of NAKHE, provide an overview of how the Praxis Lecture came into existence, describe the essence of Ubuntu, and give some examples of why I dedicated the lecture to Doris R. Corbett and how she exemplifies the essence of Ubuntu.
