Habari gani?
Kujichagulia.
Today, December 27th, we honor the second day of Kwanzaa and the principle of Kujichagulia: self-determination.
For Black mothers and families, Kujichagulia means claiming our right to define ourselves. Not the systems. Not the stereotypes. Not the harm. Us.
We come from people who shaped their own destiny, even under violence and oppression. That same power lives in us.
We speak for ourselves.
We build for ourselves.
This is Black power. This is ancestral.
