Happy Kwanzaa - First day Umoja

Happy Kwanzaa to you today. As you may already know, today is the first day of the seven day holiday, Kwanzaa. Every year we celebrate Kwnazaa from Dec 26 to Jan 1. Each of the seven days represents a different principle. On the first day of Kwanzaa we we reflect on Umoja which means unity. It is a chance to pause and think about the unity of families, nations and all people. How we can gain strength and harmony through the unity of our lives. It is a day to feel connected with one another. As many of us go back to work, or back to the mall, let’s think about the unity between ourselves and the people we interact with. Let’s silently wish them well as we realize that they are all our brothers and sisters.
