Deeply Meaningful Values for Each Celebratory Day

There is much peddled in the contemporary mainstream world to distract and derail the Afrikan from necessary engagement in the culture of self. It is from their imperative of self-determined cultural fabric that Afrikan souls access and engage values for their life’s ascension. This is ageless truism. Indeed, throughout the ages this primary and spirit people of creation produced the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist from this natural basis of progressive normality.

Despite the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls have made tremendous effort to restore their natural norm of self-determined cultural fabric to their lives. One of the outstanding restorative efforts resulted in the glorious establishment of the Kwanzaa celebratory observance. Pioneered into fruition by the Us organ, this seven day season based upon the ageless harvesting traditions of necessity, cultivation, development, security and ascension has at its core a set of values known as the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles).

For each day of the seven-day period its respective principle is the theme of focus. The principles are identified as follows:  

Umoja (Unity)

Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)

Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)

Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)

Nia (Purpose)

Kuumba (Creativity)

Imani (Faith)

This is a value-set where each principle has its own profound depth of meaning, yet none is mutually exclusive from the other. The principle of Umoja (Unity) does however hold a special place for it is considered to be the foundation principle:

Umoja (Unity) – To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.

All the other principles also have their respective summary meanings which can provide a wisdom-filled, energising, inspirational drive for progressive engagement.

The wonderful celebration of Kwanzaa is readily accessible to Afrikan souls throughout the world and is a culturally engaging holiday that is a great boon to Afrikan cultured living and security. In turn, Afrikan souls must surely safeguard their precious season from alien talons of ill that includes the destructive vices of misogyny, misandry, feminism and the thrust for a gynocracy.  Wholesome relations that realise in the best ways possible the upright Afrikan masculine man and the rightful Afrikan feminine woman in mission for Afrikan ascension surely must be.  

The spirit focus and engagement then, for the levels of self that is intimately harmonising with the foundation principle of Umoja and thus empowering for the other principles can be detailed as follows:

The person self (whether as  or boy growing into an Afrikan masculine man; or as or girl growing into an Afrikan feminine woman­)

The harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union

The Afrikan family

The Afrikan community

The Afrikan nation

The Afrikan world community
