We REALLY appreciate all the responses, shares, and engagement with yesterday's #Kwanzaa2022 post! Today is day two of Sistah Scifi 's celebration of #Kwanzaa! HABARI GANI?!? Today's response is KUJICHAGULIA: Self-Determination; To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves. Fun fact, KUJICHAGULIA is Vice President's Kamala Harris (@kamalaharris) favorite Kwanzaa principle. We selected DESTROYER OF LIGHT by @jennifermariebrissett as a representation of KUJICHAGULIA. In the book, a young Black woman steps into her power to create a better world. DESTROYER OF LIGHT has been described as The @thematrixmovie meets an Afrofuturistic retelling of Persephone set in a science fiction underworld of aliens, refugees, and genetic engineering. "[A] dark, poetic tale of struggling human colonists and ambiguously motivated aliens on a distant planet. Brissett uses the alien setting to explore contemporary issues, including racism, the complexities of allyship, and the trauma experienced by child soldiers. The author’s updated take on a classic myth is both clever and entertaining...Richly developed and profound." — @kirkus_reviews Starred Review “Compelling.... This is a book about monsters and saviors – and how thin the line can be between the two. It’s about power and colonialism; mother and daughters; the cost of safety.... Brissett has built a story that the 21st century needs, while never forgetting its roots in the Afrofuturism of a previous generation.”—@locusmagazine "Destroyer of Light offers readers an opportunity to make their own interpretations and find their own truth". - @denofgeek Sharing is caring!

St. Martin’s Press, New York. 2015. pp 9-10. . . “We didn’t know we wouldn’t return. We simply believed some terrible calamity had befallen us, that our Gods had let tragedy come because we had not honored them. But we were wrong. We were warriors and hunters, poets and jali, farmers and soothsayers. We were magicians and healers, artisans and thinkers, writers and dancers. We were fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, cousins and kinsmen. We were lovers. And we were home. We loved the land and it loved us. We were black like the land, and kissed by the sun. We knew our strengths and our frailties, and we knew much needed improvement. But we were home.” #IAmTheBlackGoldOfTheSun #BlackHolidays #BlackCulture #SelfDetermination #BlackCreatives #BlackArtists #Blackness #TheComing #BlackGirlArtGeeks https://www.instagram.com/p/CmsHZBjuEBq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Kwanzaa ❤️💚🖤Day # 5 We light the candle representing the principle Nia, or purpose. It encourages us to look within to not only set personal goals, but also to choose goals that benefit our community. We believe that financial strength is critical to building a successful future for the Black community.#kwanzaa#kwanza#kwanzaa2020 #kwanzaa2022#Happykwanza#happykwanza https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmyh_i4LIDG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withrepost • @thewintersgroup This is the first day of #Kwanzaa, an annual celebration that many African Americans observe to honor our unique culture. Today is #Umoja, Kiswahil for Unity. Most African cultures adhere to strong unity principles. This proverb is an example: If you want to go quickly go alone. If you want to go far, go together. - Mary-Frances Winters ..... #TheWintersGroup #LeadInclusively #Kwanzaa2022 #KwanzaaPrinciples #KwanzaaCelebration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmoos3UOkZn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On the sixth day of Kwanzaa, we light the candle of Kuumba (Creativity). The principle of Kuumba encourages us to do as much as we can, at the highest quality in attempts to leave our community/world better and more beautiful than how we first encountered it. #habarigani❤️🖤💚 #kwanzaa2022❤️🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1gnror7ok/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is the seventh and final day of Sistah Scifi 's week-long celebration of Kwanzaa! Habari gani?!? Today's response is Imani: Faith; “a profound and enduring belief in and commitment to the values that affirm us as a community and a culture." We selected The Deep to serve as an exemplar of today's principle.  In The Deep, by Rivers Solomon (@rivers.solomon) published by @sagasff ( the #scififantasy imprint of @gallerybooks and @simonandschuster), the water-breathing descendants of African slave women tossed overboard have built their own underwater society—and must reclaim the memories of their past to shape their future in this brilliantly imaginative novella inspired by the Hugo Award–nominated song “The Deep” from Daveed Diggs’s (@daveeddiggs) rap group @clipping.  You can purchase The Deep from our @Shopify, @Instagram, @Facebook, @TikTok, @Twitter and @Pinterest stores.

Reposted from @blackliturgies “What did it mean for a Black woman to be an #artist in our grandmothers' time? In our great-grandmothers' day? It is an answer cruel enough to stop the blood.” ―Alice Walker

Thinking of my gramma today, and the way poetry slid from her like an exhale. And all the ways the world is impoverished by the obstruction of art from Black women elders.

Resisting with today’s Kwanzaa principle—Kuumba (creativity). Spending time with the poets who have departed. Might try to draw my own face. What beauty are you drawing near to today?
