For those who don’t know; Kwanzaa is a week long African-American holiday dedicated to celebrating the many achievements, connecting with the black community, acknowledging and sharing many works and experiences of the black community and more thorough a week period! Starting from Boxing Day (December 26th) to New Years Day (January 1st) so it’s like Christmas combined with Black History Month + Week! The celebrations (Seven Principles) are: Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith.
Happy Kwanza 2023!

Here is to Self-Determination [Poem]
Here is to Self-Determination
Finding our place in the nation
Creating our voice to be heard
Speaking in our own word
The cause of action spurred
For you do not get that right
This is our fight
And we will shine bright
For I define me
And together is the we
Of what we choose to be
Something you can't perceive of
Here is to Kujichagulia

Kwanzaa Kujichagulia 2023
This Kwanzaa we will focus on empowering yourself, reconnecting with your community, and learning survival skills from your ancestors. Do not allow the word “ancestor” to scare you. This society forces you to learn traditions and ancestors that are not yours like Santa, the tooth fairy, Halloween, 4th of July and so forth. If you are willing to celebrate those things then why not your own people?
Today is Kujichagulia, so we light the red candle to symbolize the blood that pumps life and self-determination through our veins. Umoja reminded us that we must stick together in order to create a bright future, however today we will place all of our focus on ourselves. If we are not properly aligned with our emotions and actions, it opens a door that can cause harm to our community.
New Year Resolution
Most people change their environment, acquaintances and lifestyle during the new year, but that is actually the worst time to do so. Firstly, why would you wait for a specific month to change things that need to be changed right now? Secondly, your mindset is being served on a silver platter. You do not know what the future holds! Your ancestors had to live their day-to-day based on starving, sleeping outside, constant walking, fighting and fleeing wild animals, while your daily concern is if your food is too cold from the microwave.
Nature
Why is your new year resolution during the season of death? No wonder it never comes true. If you truly want to do a new year resolution it should be in spring when nature finishes its rebirth cycle. Death is necessary so don’t get gloomy about it because without it we wouldn’t have space for anything new. You may not be sleeping next to bears at night anymore but you can surely improve other things like your concentration, discernment, observation, balance, temper, empathy, speech, and confidence.
Technology
Put your phone, remote and laptop down. Most people spend hours on social media feeding themselves garbage. There is no reason why you should know more information about celebrities than your own skills in life. Technology is cool but it shouldn’t dictate your entire life. Besides, you should enjoy what’s left of nature and freedom before it’s attempted to be stripped away from us, again.
Kujichagulia, Theme of the Day:

I didn't get to say it when it started so I just wanted to say Happy Kwanzaa to the people who celebrate it. Also I wanted to say it so people know about it and it gets the recognition it deserves.

Here is to Faith [Poem]
Here is to Faith
Continuing to return from the scathe
But we will see victory
Recover from this misery
And be on the right side of history
You do not struggle alone
No sins you have to atone
For this is something you own
May our leaders guide us well
The stories we will tell
Even if we have to yell
For we will be free
Here is to Imani
