If someone asks you today, "Habari Ghani?" respond by saying, "Kujichagualia." Yes, you can say it too. (koo-jee-cha-ga-leah).

After lighting The Black Candle of Umoja last night, Kwanzaacontinues today on the theme of "Self-Determination."


Kujichagulia, Bay Area KwanzaaKujichagulia(Self-Determination), the second principle of Kwanzaa, means "To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves."
