馃憫 Kwanzaa 1 of 2
I have heard of Kwanzaa, but I never truly understood it until now. It's so beautiful.
Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday for Black people and the wider African diaspora. It is not a church holiday! It runs for seven days, from December 26 to January 1.
Why? The holiday started in 1966 to celebrate African heritage, unity, and community power using 7 core principles: the Nguzo Saba.
Here are the first 4 keys to building power together:
Keys 1 to 4: Working Together
1. Umoja / Unity: We stick together and stay strong
2. Kujichagulia / Self-Choice: You choose who you are
3. Ujima / Teamwork: We help build our group and neighbourhood
4. Ujamaa / Share Money: We support our own to make shared wealth
The highest protocol is LOVE. We use these keys to build an unbreakable community.
