🖤❤️💚 Happy Kwanzaa! 🖤❤️💚

As we celebrate Kwanzaa, we honor history, culture, and collective strength through the Seven Principles:

✨ Umoja (Unity) – To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race

✨ Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) – To define ourselves, name ourselves, and speak for ourselves

✨ Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility) – To build and maintain our community together

✨ Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) – To support and uplift Black-owned businesses and shared prosperity

✨ Nia (Purpose) – To build and develop our community with intention and meaning

✨ Kuumba (Creativity) – To leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it

✨ Imani (Faith) – To believe in ourselves, our people, and the righteousness of our struggle

May this season bring reflection, connection, and renewed purpose.
