Kwanzaa Day 2 "Self Determination"

Well I'll be darned! What a well-versed man u are in the observation of Kwanzaa!
I'm actually impressed!
is this a one day thing or something that's practiced all year??
Love the Kwanzaa posts. I would have done something similar, but did not want to duplicate your blog content. I do put up the info at work each day. Thanks. It's great! Happy Kwanzaa.
Design for myself a positive future and make it come true. Nope. Can't see that far. Today breathing is about all I can accomplish. Sorry.
