  1. 👑 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.
