Last day of Kwanzaa

Today is the last day of Kwanzaa. Today represents Imani, faith. Faith in ourselves, our family, our future, and our past. On the seventh day a feast is had with African and African American food and there is a big celebration. The last candle on the Kinara is lit.

And so today, our local Harambee Transracial Parenting Group had a gathering. We all brought a dish to share of an African or African American recipe, we had an African drummer who brought a bunch of different African drums and instruments that the kids learned to plan, and a hip hop dancer who taught everyone a dance. Addy had a good time dancing and listening to the drums!
