Our mission is to Embody Inclusion, Transformation and Creation. I think you'll agree with us that this wonderful celebration of Kwanzaa does all of that and more! Please take the time to watch and learn!

Today at 5 pm, join us for a live watch party to celebrate Kwanzaa!

We'll watch a new documentary hosted by the library's Multicultural Learning Coordinator Juanta Griffin. The film features interviews with local residents, West African dancing, poetry, rap, a libation ceremony, and lots of learning about the Nguzo Saba (the 7 principles of Kwanzaa) and other Kwanzaa practices and terms. Register to join the party: bit.ly/Kwanzaa5

“Kwanzaa is a Black American Harvest Celebration,” Griffin says. “It brings the Black community together to celebrate our culture, our accomplishments, and our goals for the future. It is also a time to promote and embrace the creativity of Black, talented young people and entrepreneurs within our village.”

If you have been missing The Echo Show, you should follow Reflect Media, the newest offering from our Founder and Creative Director Maui Jones.

About Reflect Media: Reflect Media is an intersectional production company for learning how to navigate social emotional space, teaching communities to reclaim their narrative and give them platforms, and give them platforms to be seen and heard. By giving to this campaign you will be helping us create a revolutionary media platform that celebrates the diverse cultures of the near west region. We are a collective of artists with limited funds. The greatest resource we have is you, the community! We hope you can help us fund our inaugural season of production which will lead to important conversations in our community.
