PICS: Dashiki, Prints & Headwraps Dominate 2016 Kwanzaa Fashion, Check It Out

[sociallocker id=”98575″]For those who do not know what Kwanzaa is, it’s a secular festival observed by many African Americans and some parts of Africa and UK from 26 December to 1 January as a celebration of their cultural heritage and traditional values, stemming from East African practice.

Each day of the 6 day celebration is marked with a word that inspires good will in community action, and has consistently being growing from strength to strength across the world. So we decided to check through in instagram what fashion was like for followers who celebrate the festive period and hashtagged #Kwanzaa

And below are some beautiful looks we caught up with. Enjoy and happy Kwanzaa to all celebrators of the Kwanzaa season.

All glory to whom all blessings flow… Happy Second Day of Kwanzaa – Kujichagulia "Self-Determination" = to define ourselves, name ourselves, create ourselves and speak for ourselves. #AllPowerToThePeople ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿#blackgirlmagic #blacklivesmatter #melanin #kwanzaa2016 #kwanzaa #urban #art #standforsomething #godblessthefreaks

❤️💚On the 2nd day of Kwanzaa, the principle celebrated is Self-Determination or 'Kujichagulia' in Swahili. Self-Determination means to define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves." I honor the Kings and Queens of our history and culture that have displayed great acts of self-determination to inspire and empower others! ❤️️💚 #WeAre #Kwanzaa #Kujichagulia #determination #discipline #dedication #effort #firstfruits
