Kwanzaa Learning: December 26 - Jan. 1, 2022
Kwanzaa was created in 1966, after the riots of WATTS in 1965.
Dr. Maulana Karenga, who chairs the African Studies department at California State University, Long Beach, established 7 Principles for 7 days that we can practice throughout the year.
Making it a Pan-African holiday celebration, which brings value, goals and substance back into the Black family, the community and cultural awareness.
2021 Annual: Theme by Founder, Dr. Maulana Karenga: “Practicing Kwanzaa and the Seven Principles: Ensuring the Well-Being of the World”.
“Let us take a look at each 7 Principle & their meaning daily:

Day 1: UMOJA (Unity) (oo-MO-jah)
This 1st Principle:
Inspires everyone to connect & unitify. It stresses the importance of togetherness. Unity means we are responsible to our loved ones, and each other and to be vigilant about protecting the rights of our community. UNITY is our safe haven to success!
Let’s all UNITE TOGETHER, AS ONE!
*Day 2: KUJICHAGULIA (koo-jee-chah-GOO-lee-ah)
“Self-Determination”
Means:
To define, create & speak for ourselves. Which is why I opened a Women’s Black Owned business to offer equal opportunities into our communities toward Self-Publishing, to define ourselves, build assets that can fit into a reasonable budget.
*Day 3: Ujima (oo-GEE-mah)
“Collective Work & Responsibility”
Means:
Reminds us of our obligation to our community. We must make our neighbors’ issues our collective responsibility. By doing this, we can solve our struggles together. Reach up 1; then go forward successfully and then you turn back, too reach another 1.
Enjoy Everyone,
Happy Kwanzaa
