#Kujichagulia

2023-12-27

I have a non-ironic affection for Kwanzaa partially because it feels so consciously constructed, a thoughtfully laid-out annual observance. But also because it comes with great playlists.
Check out the "songs for reflection" here: nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/

May the joy of Kwanzaa fill your life with love and light.

Art card for Kwanzaa, day two. A small table stands in the botton left corner. It holds a bowl of fruit, a kinara with seven candles, and two ears of corn on a straw mat (called a mkeka). The text reads, "DAY 2: KUJICHAGULIA (Koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah)
SELE-DETERMINATION - REQUIRES THAT WE DEFINE OUR COMMON INTERESTS AND MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR FAMILY AND COMMUNITY."

(A little late than never.)

For #Kujichagulia, translated from Swahili as Self-determination, we must be in charge of our own digital landscapes.

My little was so delighted to be able to create an avatar in her learning app (ABC Mouse) that looked like her. She held her arm up to the screen to match her skin and squealed in delight when locs were a hair option. #Self-Determination is so much easier when you can see yourself.

Habari Gani? #Kujichagulia

This video from the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC explains the principle we discuss on the second day of #Kwanzaa: #Kujichagulia

Curious to hear from #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter about which strategies you'd recommend for how we can support one another more to show up as our authentic selves in our homes, relationships, careers, and our community?
