Umoja, which means “unity” in Swahili, is the first principle celebrated on the inaugural day of Kwanzaa, December 26th. It holds a place of great importance in the week-long festival, setting the foundation for the values and reflections that follow in the subsequent days.

Umoja is a reminder of the strength that lies in unity, a principle that resonates not just during Kwanzaa but throughout the year.
