Growing up in charismatic Christianity, at least in MY experience, - TopicsExpress



          

Growing up in charismatic Christianity, at least in MY experience, I was never introduced to KWANZAA. It was quite frankly mysterious, foreign & for some reason, not looked upon in the best light. In many cases, it seems that people generally FEAR what is different or what they dont UNDERSTAND. Thankfully, I let go of fear a long time ago & am thankful I did. (So wait...you mean to tell me that Kwanzaa has an actual MEANING based on real life PRINCIPLES?? LOL YES!) HIP-HOP introduced me to some of these, namely Kujichogulia, or determination, via Black Stars song K.O.S., but Ill get into that tomorrow. For those unaware like I was, its NEVER too late to learn something new! Check out the following principles, and then imagine if these were MORE celebrated amongst my people...Black people. The impact would be incredible! TODAY (Day 1), its all about UMOJA, meaning UNITY. I choose to move in an attitude of togetherness in uplifting & bringing the best out of my people. Peace & Love to EVERYONE...and HAPPY KWANZAA!
