Happy Kwansaa – people preserving and celebrating their heritage and telling its stories.
Happy Kwansaa everyone!
(The official “holiday” website: https://www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org) Independent of how the week became recognized, by whom it was created/organized or why… it has evolved to a more friendly form of humanity in celebration of an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world African community. Indeed, I don’t think it takes away from the Black Community to share this light and positive energy with all races, cultures… and humanity. Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense, given the profound positive significance Kwanzaa can have in people’s lives and families.
I love the idea of people celebrating their heritage and telling its stories. Its a much fuller, richer life, one that’s filled with the remembrance and focus on the positive energy of goodness of life. In fact, I’m the author of a series of books on how to preserve the items that tell our stories and preserve our family’s heritage and legacy. Check out the other articles on this blog which I hope you will see as applicable to all cultures and different types of heirlooms, religious objects, collectibles and other meaningful “stuff.”
