The principle that stands out to me the most is Ujima.
I've always thought that enough of our money doesn't circulate within the community.
We're quick to give money to companies, designers that don't even believe in hiring models that look like us to SELL us the product

I mean, why should they even hire black models? We buy it anyway!

Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together.

I always loved the idea of the holiday until I read up on the creator's history

spill tea sis

Maulana Karenga tortured and raped multiple women in his religious following and served four years in prison.

Nothing wrong with separating the concept of the holiday from the creator but idk about celebrating a tradition that honors unity and faith knowing it originated from a rapist.

Wow.

But I mean we celebrate Thanksgiving and the history behind that holiday wasn't exactly the way it's marketed ...



I'll overlook his run with the law just as I've overlooked the strategic, direct and indirect genocide of indigenous peoples as I say "let's eat!"!

Never known that about Kwanzaa. Good post.

Never known that about Kwanzaa. Good post.

That's why I posted the principles.

It's not about just saying "woo! look im celebrating Kwanzaa! #african"

it's about tying it all into how this relates to us as black people in America.
I knew if some of you actually saw what the principles mean you'd embrace it. cuz its so relevant to us here.
