There are seven symbols of Kwanzaa which represent the seven principles. I am happy to share this Caribbean beverage which originated in West Africa. Caribbean Sorrel.

Lets talk about a few ways you can practice the second principal of Kwanzaa Kujichagulia as a practice in our own musicianship and creativity. Practicing Kujichagulia (self-determination) in music involves asserting one's cultural identity, creativity, and self-expression within the musical realm. This can be achieved by:

• Creating music that reflects your cultural heritage and personal experiences.
• Composing and performing music that empowers and uplifts your community.
• Collaborating with like-minded artists to promote self-determination and cultural pride through music.
• Using music as a platform to address social issues and advocate for self-determination and empowerment.
• Fostering mentorship and educational programs to pass on musical traditions and encourage self-expression within your community.

I went to my first Kwanzaa celebration about 20 years ago. In my family we usually celebrate Junkanoo and Boxing Day so going to a Kwanzaa celebration was new to me. It was such a beautiful event filled with so much hope. The wonderful thing about Kwanzaa is you do not have to feel intimidated by it. I have been to Kwanzaa gatherings where the entire community gathers and people of all races participate. Below are a few books to help you learn more about  Kwanzaa.

This year I honestly was not feeling it. It took me a long time to get into the holiday spirit. This includes shopping! Instead of walking through the malls, being stressed out even more. I took the unconventional approach by doing everything on line and either having it delivered to me or to the store. SO EASY. I then realized that it took a lot of stress off of me and created more space for me to enjoy spending time doing things I enjoyed.

Today I am sharing some of my favorite Christmas Memories. This episode started out as Christmas traditions, but I realized that they were more memories, than traditions. My parents loved Christmas, especially my mother. The holiday music, the festivities, the guests, the food.... all of it. My Dad loved watching how the Christmas season made my mom so happy. I hope you enjoy this holiday episode of podmas!
