This episode delves into the meaing of Kwanzaa. We will also discuss what Kwanzaa is not and myths about the special time. Kwanzaa is 7 days with principles that correspond to each of those days. There are items commonly used during Kwanzaa that can be understood better with explanation as to why they are used in relation to this special time of year. We also open up the lines to you for other traditions in your family that other Gumbo listeners may be interested in incorporating at home or their communities.
