Happy Kwanzaa! Today is a reminder to reflect on the power of UNITY, SELF-DETERMINATION, COLLECTIVE WORK, and PURPOSE. It’s about showing up—for ourselves, our families, and our communities in ways that truly matter. As we light the candles this week, let’s bring these principles to life: 1. Umoja – Building bridges, not walls. 2. Kujichagulia – Owning and declaring who we are. 3. Ujima – Rising together. 4. Ujamaa – Supporting and investing in each other. 5. Nia – Walking boldly in purpose. 6. Kuumba – Creating with intention. 7. Imani – Trusting that faith fuels the future. As we wrap up the year with purpose and step into the new one with unstoppable, positive energy, let’s keep lifting each other higher. Let’s celebrate our culture, embrace our roots, and build a future grounded in excellence and unity. #Kwanzaa #Unity #Faith #Purpose #CelebrateCulture #CommunityBuilding #BlackExcellence Image description/reference: "Habari Gani" is a Swahili phrase that translates to "What’s the news?" or "What’s happening?" During Kwanzaa, it’s a traditional greeting used to ask about the principle of the day. For example, on the first day of Kwanzaa, someone might ask, “Habari Gani?” and the response would be "Umoja" (Unity), the principle for that day. It's a way to reflect on and honor each of the seven principles (Nguzo Saba) throughout the celebration.

Happy Kwanzaa to all who celebrate! This meaningful weeklong observance, from December 26 to January 1, honors African heritage and culture through the seven guiding principles: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. May this Kwanzaa bring moments of reflection, joy, and connection to all who observe this special time. #Kwanzaa #NguzoSaba #GlobalLogistics #SupplyChainManagement
