Haban gani?    What's the news?   

It's time to light the second candle on the Kinara and ponder the second principle of the seven celebrated during Kwanzaa


Self Determination.   This is a principle the Black trans community needs now more than ever, is definitely down with and needs to do all of the above as described in the sentence following the description of what Kujichagulia means.

We are in desperate need of defining ourselves.  For far too long we have allowed others to define us and who we are as transpeople of African descent.     Because of our lack of visibility, far too many of the negatives associated with trans people have been dropped in our laps.
