Happy New Year! Today is also Imani (Faith), the last day of which we have been celebrating as a community since the day after Christmas. We gathered and ate food from the African diaspora: jollof rice, jerk chicken, etc. I also made the unity cup for the Kwanzaa table this year decorated with black, red and green foraged clays. It’s easy to identify what we’re against but celebrating the principles of Kwanzaa reminds us what we need more of in 2026 and beyond.

A few of us who have been attending the Kwanzaa celebration all week decided to take a photo together after we ate. There are five of us standing in a row, four Black people and one Asian woman. The sky is blue behind us.
