Kwanzaa reminds us of the power of unity, self-determination, and community care.

Each night, families light the kinara and reflect on one of the seven principles. As we celebrate, may we carry these values into the new yearโ€”building stronger families, communities, and futures together.

Happy Kwanzaa from Tree of Life Counseling & Consulting! ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ’š
