Happy New Year, Happy Kwanzaa and King Season!

It is my favorite time of the year. Celebrating Kwanzaa feeds my spirit as the year’s final days remind me of the Nguzo Saba - the seven principles. It is a refreshing feeling of being closer to our Creator and a time of adjusting. We can reset our goals, create new ones and plan for the next 365 days to be better than the last. What’s so amazing about this time of the year is King season - the two weeks after New Year’s Day, planning to participate, host, attend community celebrations, and for many, continue to dream. 

King season kicks off the 28 days of officially celebrating Black History Month, followed by Women’s History Month and National Poetry Month. King season has an overall feeling of positivity and prosperity. Remember, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of dedicating his life to the nonviolent struggle for civil rights in the United States. King’s leadership played a pivotal role in ending entrenched segregation for African Americans and to the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, considered a crowning achievement of the civil rights era.

No matter how you start your new year, remember we are all dreamers, just like King. 

Happy New Year! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy King Season!

Thank you for having SOUL!
