It was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, a professor of Africana Studies Kwanzaa, a seven-day cultural festival, which begins December 20th and ends January 1st. It joins communitarian values and practices of Continental African and African American culture. During the holiday, families and communities organize activities around the Nguzo Saba (The Seven Principles): Umoa (Unity). Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity) and Imani (Faith). Participants also celebrate with feasts (karamu), music, dance, poetry, narratives and end the holiday with a day dedicated to reflection and recommitment to The Seven Principles and other central cultural values. Now we know we’re celebrating a little early, but it’s not just about the celebration but recognition of other cultures holidays during the winter season, because there are many! So here at BBM we do our best to not only celebrate but educate and give acknowledgement. As part of the Kwanzaa celebration, come and listen to music, dance, hear poetry and stories we have to tell in this safe space. Until then why not have some reflection to the seven principles you might consider for 2025 and share them with us at our last market of the year!
