Pre-Kwanzaa Celebration – Parenting for Liberation

Pre-Kwanzaa Celebration – Parenting for Liberation

Pre-Kwanzaa Celebration

Habari Gani?! Our first annual Pre-Kwanzaa Celebration, in partnership with Dior Sunset Foundation, was an amazing community gathering bringing together 150 Black families in Los Angeles. Kwanzaa is a 7-day African-American & Pan-African holiday created to celebrate our culture, heritage, & foster unity, beginning on December 26-January 1.

While, there are a multitude of ways to celebrate Kwanzaa which involves showing respect for ancestors and coming together through song, dance, African drums, storytelling, and poetry reading, Parenting for Liberation encourage families to be creative and celebrate Kwanzaa in their own  way with an intention on practicing the 7 principles of Kwanzaa: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), & Imani (faith). 

Please share your Kwanzaa celebrations with us using the hashtag #P4LKwanzaa  

“May the light of the kinara fill your home with peace and light your new year with love!”
