HAPPY KWANZAA! Created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, a professor of African Studies, to promote African American cultural unity and heritage, Kwanzaa was designed to be a week-long celebration that incorporates African traditions and values. The name “Kwanzaa” is derived from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits of the harvest.” #YForAll

And it helps the Y to create spaces where neurodiverse children are included and supported. Together, we build brighter, more inclusive futures for all. #ForABetterUs
