50 Kwanzaa Greetings to Honor the Seven Principles and Celebrate Pan-African Culture

Kwanzaa is an annual week-long celebration of African and African American culture, honoring pan-African culture, community and families, and their respective contributions to the world at large. This year, Kwanzaa begins on Dec. 26, 2023, and ends on Jan. 1, 2024.

The Kwanzaa holiday honors the Nguzo Saba, or Seven Principles, of African culture. These are Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity) and Imani (faith). It's a fantastic time for reflection, goal-setting and family.
