Dear Friends and Supporters:
Growing up with a unique name like Kwanza provided for an interesting childhood. Classmates and teachers alike wondered what it meant. Today, as a public servant, I've found an opportunity to use my name - which means "first" in Swahili - to bring the community together. So on Friday, December 26th, I am hosting Kwanzaa with Kwanza: A Holiday Block Party in the Old 4th Ward.
Why Kwanzaa?
KWANZAA (with two A's) is now a well-known holiday that symbolizes harmony of spirit and diversity. Three decades ago, my parents hosted the city's first KWANZAA celebration at their home, which attracted a large, multi-cultural group - many of whom worked in human rights. My goal is to reignite the flames lit by my parents while giving back. But I need your help to make the event a success.
Won't you please donate $25 or more to the inaugurate this annual community event and fundraiser?
Together, we will celebrate the diversity and harmony of spirit that makes Atlanta a true International city. The night will provide a great opportunity to meet new neighbors and reconnect with old friends.
If you are unable to attend, please show your support by making a contribution of $25 or more and pass along to anyone you know in District 2: Castleberry Hill, Downtown, Sweet Auburn and the Martin Luther King Jr. Historic District, Inman Park, Poncey-Highlands, the Old Fourth Ward, Midtown, Home Park, and the Marietta Artery.
Thank you in advance for your support and I look forward to seeing you on the 26th.
