Happy and Joyful Kwanzaa to All My Friends, Readers and Subscribers of African descent!
Kwanzaa is derived from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanzaa,” which means “first fruits of the harvest.”
It is a celebration of family, community and culture of those of African descent worldwide, celebrated from December 26 through January 1 of each year.
