This month I had the chance to write not one but two articles on Kwanzaa and it was quite a learning experience. I figured out why my dad was so against celebrating, as it was clearly due to the usavory past of the holidays creator.
I also realize that may people I know try to embody the principles everyday, which I think we can and should. For example, cooperative economics, the act of creating and supporting local business should be paramount to our daily lives. As should exercising our creativity and doing our best for the community.
Here's a link to both articles which are different and yet on the same subject. Find your principles and live them everyday for a happy healthier you!

Black Owned Restaurants in the Bay Area
This is a list I created to go with my article on Kwanzaa Culinarians. Be sure to check out all the articles including my post on Ujammaa aka Cooperative Economics. Whenever you can, support your community by shopping and eating local. Vote with dollars and make each one count! -Luna
Have a Black owned business you love and want to share to keep this principle rolling all year long? Please make sure you share!
