Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day from
“My great prayer is always for God to save me from the paralysis of crippling fear, because I think when a person lives with the fears of the consequences for his personal life he can never do anything in terms of lifting the whole of humanity and solving many of the social problems which we confront in every age and every generation.” - Martin Luther King
This is the year of no fear! - Keith Futel

Kwanzaa is an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrating history, values, family, community, and culture. This week-long celebration was created in 1966 by Maulana Ron Karenga. The ideas and concepts of Kwanzaa are expressed in the Swahili language, one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa.
The word Kwanzaa derives from a Swahili phrase, “matunda ya kwanza” or first fruits, and is framed around seven guiding principles, or the Nguzo Saba, Swahili for seven principles.
Celebrate with us from December 26 - January 1 and remember to stop by and see our CEO speak at the Mid-day Kuumba Celebration hosted by the on December 31st!
