Hello All!
Kwanzaa
Kizuri (Kwan-zah kee-zoo-ree) or Beautiful Kwanzaa in Swahili! We are
now on the fourth day of Kwanzaa and today, January 29 is Ujamaa -
derived from Jamaa, which means "family." Traditionally we were all one
big family prior to our being kidnapped and dragged from our
motherland, leaving our customs, traditions, families, friends, and
country behind.
We've
of course adapted news ways - after 400 years, it's definitely
inevitable that we do so; but Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga wanted us to not
lose the value of our traditions and 55 years ago created Kwanzaa to
help instill some of the values and traditions that were lost in the
journey.
So,
as we celebrate the 55th Anniversary of KWANZAA, I greet you in the
traditional Habari Gani ( pronounced Hah-bah-ree gah-nee) and means how
are you?
Your
response would be "Ujamaa! (pronounced oooh-jah-mah) and means
Collective Economics. Have a blessed and beautiful day, week,
month,year, life and refer to the principles of Kwanzaa and teach them
to your children, family and friends. - Stay Blessed - Gloria
