Kwanzaa is a seven-day celebration held in the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world. It is celebrated from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is a joyous celebration of Pan-African culture and community. For some, Kwanzaa is an alternate winter holiday; for others, it's in addition to Christmas, Hanukkah, or other celebrations. Kwanzaa centers on seven all-important principles that can apply all year long.

Today’s Kwanzaa Principal is Ujamaa which means Cooperative Economics
Ujamaa is the principle of cooperative economics. This goes beyond the mass spending associated with the holiday season. Ujamaa focuses on a concerted effort to pool resources (financial and otherwise) together to benefit our Black communities and neighborhoods and essentially build a more communal sense of “profit.”
