Habari Gani?

[read pt 1 here!]
It's the second day of Kwanzaa, so our new word for today is Kujichagulia ['Self-Determination'].  It encourages us to name and define ourselves, and to create and speak for ourselves.  I feel like this particular principle is the easiest one for me to grasp, so I wasn't too surprised to see that coming up with the corresponding spread was relatively quick as well.

​Happy Holidays everyone!  I trust that you all had a wonderful time celebrating whatever holiday you hold dear with your loved ones.
Today is Boxing Day and thus, the first day of Kwanzaa!  As part of my personal journey into exploring my own African heritage, I found it important over the last few years to start studying Kwanzaa for myself.  created in 1966 by Dr Maulana Karenga, it's more of a cultural festival as opposed to a religious or spiritual one- so literally the only prerequisite to celebrating is having some of that sweet Melanin in your blood~  but everyone should learn about Kwanzaa anyway, so that's what these posts will be about!
