when you weathered the onceler storm of ‘12 and you can see the bendynoodle cucumberpatch grinch wildfire on the horizon of 2018 but you follow a select group of blogs whose judgement you trust
If you play “Mr Brightside” by The Killers at exactly 11:58:34PM on New Year’s Eve, I have no clue what part will play but it is Mr Brightside so you know it is the perfect way to kick off 2018.
Happy Kwanzaa (December 26- January 1). Umoja is about togetherness of family and community. It reminds us that all Black Americans share similar struggles and that we have a duty to help one another and uplift one another. Without unity of our community we wouldn’t have achieved so many amazing things in our history.

Kwanzaa was created by Maulana Karenga in 1966. It was established to help Black Americans reconnect with their African heritage. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, including Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith).

This year I plan to learn as much as I can about Kwanzaa so that I can properly observe it in future years. I’m sure I won’t get my family to jump on board with me lol but one day when I have my own family I want us to observe it. The celebration of Kwanzaa declined among black Americans with the decline of the Black Power Movement. Now I feel like a lot of black people see it as “wack,” but I feel like that’s what America wants us to think. They want us to think our own traditions are boring and lame so that we will adopt and assimilate to theirs. That’s why I want to do my part in making sure this holiday gains visibility. Please REBLOG so we can remind our brothers and sisters about our holiday! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🖤❤️💚
