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 year—building stronger families, communities, and futures together.

Happy Kwanzaa from Tree of Life Counseling & Consulting! 🌳💚
