Happy Kwanzaa! Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration that takes place from December 26th to January 1st and is observed by millions of people around the world. It was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga as a way to celebrate African-American culture and traditions.
The word “Kwanzaa” comes from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza,” which means “first fruits.” The celebration is based on seven principles, known as the Nguzo Saba, which include unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
One of the most important elements of Kwanzaa is the lighting of the Kinara, a seven-branched candelabra that represents the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Each night during the celebration, one candle is lit in honor of a different principle.

In addition to the lighting of the Kinara, Kwanzaa celebrations often include the display of the Mkeka, a mat that represents the foundation of African culture, and the Zawadi, gifts that are given to honor the tradition and values of the celebration.
Kwanzaa is also a time for families and communities to come together and celebrate their heritage through music, dance, and traditional African foods. It is a time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future, and reaffirm the commitment to the principles that guide and strengthen the African-American community.
So if you’re celebrating Kwanzaa this year, take some time to appreciate the rich cultural traditions and values that are at the heart of the celebration. Whether you’re lighting the Kinara, sharing a meal with loved ones, or simply taking a moment to reflect on the importance of unity and purpose, Kwanzaa is a time to come together and celebrate all that makes us unique and proud of our African-American heritage. Happy Kwanzaa!
