Kwanzaa is a time to celebrate our rich heritage, community, and shared values. It’s a week of reflection, unity, and renewal, rooted in the seven principles (Nguzo Saba): Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith). In our Black community, we honor the spirit of Kwanzaa by coming together, supporting Black-owned businesses, sharing stories, and embracing our cultural traditions. Let’s continue to uplift each other and celebrate the beauty of who we are. #Kwanzaa #NguzoSaba #BlackCommunity #Unity #SelfDetermination #Kujichagulia #CollectiveWork #CooperativeEconomics #Purpose #Creativity #Faith #CelebrateBlackCulture #SupportBlackBusiness #UpliftBlackVoices #basl #deaftiktok #fyp

As we step into the season of Kwanzaa, I’m reflecting on how I can live, love, and lead more intentionally within my community. Kwanzaa isn’t just a celebration—it’s a reminder to embrace the values that uplift and empower us all. The seven principles of the Nguzo Saba guide me to think deeply about my own journey: • Umoja (Unity): How am I strengthening the bonds within my family and community? • Kujichagulia (Self-Determination): Am I boldly defining and creating my own path? • Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): What role am I playing in solving our shared challenges? • Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics): How can I help build and sustain businesses that empower us all? • Nia (Purpose): Am I working toward a vision that restores greatness to our people? • Kuumba (Creativity): What am I creating to leave the world better than I found it? • Imani (Faith): Do I truly believe in myself, my people, and our potential? These principles align with the practices I share in ‘The Peace Doctor’s Playbook’ where every day is a chance to grow stronger, more purposeful, and more connected. This Kwanzaa, I’m challenging myself and all of you to recommit to building a better self, a better family, and a better community. Together, we can inspire change. #Kwanzaa #NguzoSaba #ThePeaceDoctorsPlaybook #Unity #SelfDetermination #Purpose #Creativity #Faith #CommunityBuilding #PeaceAndPurpose #IntentionalLiving #HolidayReflection #UpliftEachOther #peacedoctor

Kwanzaa - Kujichagulia The second principle of the Nguzo Saba is Kujichagulia (Self-Determination). This too expresses itself as both commitment and practice. It demands that we as an African people define, defend and develop ourselves instead of allowing or encouraging others to do this. It requires that we recover lost memory and once again shape our world in our own image and interest. And it is a call to recover and speak our own special cultural truth to the world and make our own unique contribution to the forward flow of human history. Celebrate KWANZAA! Heri Za Kwanzaa.

Habari Gani! Day 5 - Nia/Purpose - To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness. Do you feel you are living your purpose? Does your life align with your purpose? How do you stay focused on your purpose? Today's principle is Nia it speaks to a larger collective purpose. But how does our individual purpose tie into the larger purpose. As we are the cells that form the organs which create the body (community). #kwanzaa #nguzosaba #nia #purpose #sevenprinciples .

The third principle is Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) which is a commitment to active and informed togetherness on matters of common interest. It is also recognition and respect for the fact that without collective work and struggle, progress is impossible and liberation unthinkable. Moreover, the principle of Ujima supports the fundamental assumption that African is not just an identity, but also a destiny and duty, i.e., a responsibility. In other words, our collective identity in the long run is a collective future. Celebrate KWANZAA! Heri Za Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa - Kuumba Celebrate KWANZAA! Heri Za Kwanzaa. Habari gani?! Kuumba (Creativity) To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it. The sixth principle is Kuumba (Creativity) and logically follows from and is required by the principle of Nia (Purpose). It is a commitment to being creative within the context of the national community vocation of restoring our people to their traditional greatness and thus leaving our community more beneficial and beautiful than we, i.e., each generation, inherited it. The principle has both a social and spiritual dimension and is deeply rooted in the social and sacred teachings of African societies. Nowhere is this principle more clearly expressed than in the literature and culture of ancient Egypt. Creativity here is both an original act or imitation of the Creator and a restorative act, also, reflective of the Creator constantly pushing back the currents of chaos and decay and revitalizing and restoring the natural, spiritual and cosmic energy of the world. In ancient Egypt, there was a spiritual and ethical commitment and obligation to constantly renew and restore the great works, the legacy of the ancestors, and the creative energy of the leader and nation. This was considered doing Maat, i.e., reaffirming and restoring truth, justice, propriety, harmony, balance, reciprocity and order. Each pharaoh saw his or her reign, then, as one of restoration of Maat, i.e., the reaffirmation, reestablishment and renewal of the Good, the Beautiful and the Right. This concept of restoring Maat includes the concept of serudj ta (restoring the world) used above in discussing the right relationships with the environment (see page 23). Therefore, Queen Hatshepsut says of her reign, "I have restored that which was in ruins; I have raised up that which was destroyed when the Aamu were in the midst of Kemet, overthrowing that which had been made, as they ruled in ignorance of Ra (God)." And King Shabaka found a great work of the ancestors in ruins, the Memphite text on creation, and he restored it "so that it was more beautiful than before."51 This latter contention of restoring the work "so that it was more beautiful than before" is also central to the concept of restoration and was a regular claim of the king, queen, priests and leaders. These concepts of restoration and progressive perfection which are key concepts in the philosophy of Kawaida and which reflected a fundamental cultural thrust of the 1960's, informed the conception and development of Kwanzaa. And, of course, they became a goal and value of Kwanzaa in the principle and practice of Kuumba (Creativity) which again is defined as "To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it." Also, restoration as principle and practice is central to the fifth principle of Nia whose essential thrust is "to restore our people to their traditional greatness." Thus, one has an interrelatedness and interlocking of principles and therefore a similar relationship in the practice of them. 51- Maulana Karenga, "Restoration of the Husia: Revising a Sacred Legacy" in Maulana Karenga and Jacob Carruthers (eds.), Kemet and the African Worldview, Los Angeles: University of Sankore Press, 1986, p. 97. #kwanzaa2023 #Kwanzaa #NguzoSaba #Habaragani #RespectTheVoodoo #LOVEmyNewOrleans #RespectTheAncestors 🟥🟥🟥⬛🟩🟩🟩 Kuumba 🪱Respect The Voodoo™🌈 ✍🏽 https://www.houseofthedivineprince.com/contact-us.html
