Kwanzaa Kujichagulia 2023
This Kwanzaa we will focus on empowering yourself, reconnecting with your community, and learning survival skills from your ancestors. Do not allow the word “ancestor” to scare you. This society forces you to learn traditions and ancestors that are not yours like Santa, the tooth fairy, Halloween, 4th of July and so forth. If you are willing to celebrate those things then why not your own people?
Today is Kujichagulia, so we light the red candle to symbolize the blood that pumps life and self-determination through our veins. Umoja reminded us that we must stick together in order to create a bright future, however today we will place all of our focus on ourselves. If we are not properly aligned with our emotions and actions, it opens a door that can cause harm to our community.
New Year Resolution
Most people change their environment, acquaintances and lifestyle during the new year, but that is actually the worst time to do so. Firstly, why would you wait for a specific month to change things that need to be changed right now? Secondly, your mindset is being served on a silver platter. You do not know what the future holds! Your ancestors had to live their day-to-day based on starving, sleeping outside, constant walking, fighting and fleeing wild animals, while your daily concern is if your food is too cold from the microwave.
Nature
Why is your new year resolution during the season of death? No wonder it never comes true. If you truly want to do a new year resolution it should be in spring when nature finishes its rebirth cycle. Death is necessary so don’t get gloomy about it because without it we wouldn’t have space for anything new. You may not be sleeping next to bears at night anymore but you can surely improve other things like your concentration, discernment, observation, balance, temper, empathy, speech, and confidence.
Technology
Put your phone, remote and laptop down. Most people spend hours on social media feeding themselves garbage. There is no reason why you should know more information about celebrities than your own skills in life. Technology is cool but it shouldn’t dictate your entire life. Besides, you should enjoy what’s left of nature and freedom before it’s attempted to be stripped away from us, again.

The first day of Kwanzaa.
Unity..... As friends and family we're to unite and move forward towards the upcoming year. We've all had victories, struggles, burdens, and achievements. Through UNITY we remember that we're all in this fight together in some form or another and we want to see each other win.

The holidays are here!! Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Yule, etc, take care of yourself. This means saying no to those pushy relatives, taking the time to mourn not being with your people or doing your best to prioritize your health. You should always come first. Have a nice holiday!!! (or a nice new year if you don't celebrate at all)

Year of the Alice Day 360
This is my first (and hopefully only) one-year project (which will be only 365 days) and this one is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-themed.
In this pic, we present a Kwanzaa cake in honor of Kwanzaa. It's like an unbirthday cake, but with Kwanzaa.
Made with Microsoft Paint.
Enjoy! ♠️♥️♣️♦️

Day 6.
We're getting down to the fun now. Creativity plays a great hand in how a community manages to flourish. Music, artwork, architecture, recipes, tips and tricks. Everyone has a creative side wether they recognize it or not. Let's be creative and help draw out the creativity in others.
