Kwanzaa is a Swahili word that means “first”<br />
and signifies the first fruits of the harvest.<br />
First fruits are just a taste of what lay in<br />
store at the end of the full harvest.<br />
Kwanzaa embraces the glory of the<br />
first fruits of the harvest.
We follow the Nguzo Saba – Seven Principles of Kwanzaa<br />
Umoja (oo-MO-jah) – UNITY | “We’ll do this together”<br />
Kujichagulia (koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah) – SELF-DETERMINATION | “We definitely will do this”<br />
Ujima (oo-GEE-mah) – COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY | “Each one takes part in the work”<br />
Ujamaa (oo-JAH-mah) – COOPERATIVE ECONOMICS | “Everyone shares the profits”<br />
Nia (NEE-yah) – PURPOSE | “There is very important”<br />
Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) – CREATIVITY | “Let’s try another way”<br />
Imani (ee-MAH-nee) – FAITH | “I believe it will work”
