UMOJA!
Umoja: "To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race." From "The Official Kwanzaa Website" http://www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org/NguzoSaba.shtml
It is no coincidence that the first day of Kwanzaa is Umoja, or unity. Without unity, a lot of things do not matter. Unity calls us to shop with each other, check on each other, and encourage one another. "United we stand, divided we fall." United, we are stronger. United, we are a better cohesive unit. Everyone needs uplifting. Everyone needs someone who will hold them accountable for their goals, dreams, when they need correction. So, on this first day of Kwanzaa, may we remember to uphold, uplift, support, and love one another, as we continue to navigate this thing called life.
Unite
Unite in the beauty of our people
Unite in the name of love
Unite for the love of our family
Unite to grow our block and our country
Unite because it makes us better
Let the love of self pour out and bond us together
In black, green and red
Strive and maintain
Umoja = Uplift
Hamjambo and Habari Gani?
