Wishing you a joyous Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa reflects the togetherness, love, and resilience we strive to achieve as a community. Rooted in Black history, the seven principles that define Kwanzaa – unity, self-determination, responsibility, economics, purpose, creativity, and faith serve as a guide for self and collective improvement while acknowledging the many contributions of those who overcame in spite of the struggles within our society. For those who celebrate, we wish you a warm and joyous Kwanzaa.
