Kwanzaa Wishes & Greetings
Kwanzaa is a seven-day celebration honoring African heritage in African American culture and takes place from December 26th to January 1st. All Seven Principles of Kwanzaa are inspiring, uplifting, positive, and centered on traditions of the African harvest season. In fact, the name Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning “first fruits of the harvest.“
Sending happy Kwanzaa wishes to someone who celebrates is a nice way to connect and show respect for their heritage.
Kwanzaa card messages can address a wide range of topics, including the seven principles - unity, self-determination, responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Here are some idea-starters for adding your own touch to a Kwanzaa wish:
