✊🏽Day 6 of Kwanzaa: KUUMBA (Creativity)
Kuumba calls us to use our creativity to inspire, educate, and transform our communities.
📍Today, we’re highlighting artists who used sound, style, and spoken word to shift culture
• Donald Byrd — A jazz musician and former Howard chair, whose music and teaching fused creativity with education.
• Ruth E. Carter — a Hampton University alum who turned costume design into cultural storytelling.
• Gil Scott-Heron — whose poetry and music reminded us that creativity can be a tool for truth, resistance, and awakening.
Their work shows us that Kuumba isn’t just about creating — it’s about using creativity with purpose.
🖤❤️💚
