I feel like there's a lot of myths surrounding Kwanzaa.
Like, some people felt it was a "replacement for Christmas" or that it somehow promoted Black Panther/Black supremacy stuff...

But actually, I think it's mostly just a way to strengthen familial bonds and connect with the community.

My black family celebrates it, but since I grew up separated from them, and also, since I grew up in an almost entirely white neighborhood, I never learned about Kwanzaa much.

And also, since I've never "officially" celebrated it myself, I'm learning about it too right alongside you :D
