AfriKin: A New Way of Being

Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Culture

Habari gani, friends!

It is December 28, which means we are in the midst of Kwanzaa, the seven-day celebration of our African roots and heritage.

The holiday centers around seven principles known as the Nguzo Saba. Its goal is to "inspire Black people to be united, self-determined, accountable for their communities, financially invested in Black-owned businesses, purposeful with their lives, creative and full of faith."

Like many holidays, Kwanzaa is celebrated in a variety of different ways. That may include fasting, the daily lighting of the Kinara (candle lighting), exchanging gifts, playing music, cooking extravagant meals, and gathering with friends and family.

"One of Kwanzaa's core ideals is bonding with loved ones. The seven days of celebration are both loud and quiet, humble and large."

Keep reading to learn more about the origins of Kwanzaa and the seven Nguzo Saba's.

Perhaps you can journey with us as we share our Africanness as a basis of kinship in recognizing AfriKin as a more informed and becoming term for people of African origin. Learn more about this goal here
