KWANZAA AFTER DARK: DAY 4

Image

Reflecting on the days of Kwanzaa…

Kwanzaa After Dark is about reflection. After you’ve spent the day doing the Afrikan rituals within your community, go home and think about how you, as an individual can change.

We all come from the cradle of civilization. We all can support Kwanzaa. Why don’t we? Think about that.

Thank you for visiting.

Shila Iris,

KWANZAA AFTER DARK: DAY 3

Habari gani? This is the question you ask your family, friends, and community at the beginning of each day of Kwanzaa. In the language kiswahili, it translates to “What’s the news?”

Your response is simply whatever day of Kwanzaa it is. So this morning, you responded: “Ujima!” Tomorrow you respond “Ujamaa!”

DAY 3 – UJIMA: COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY

Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned,

Shila Iris ♥

P.S. Divide and conquer has been a very useful tactic in taking from people of Afrikan descent. We can fight this! Let the circle be unbroken. Fix yourself, so that we can all be together. I’m in my healing flow, you know?
