Celebrate LIFE, COMMUNITY, and CULTURE this Kwanzaa from the comfort of your home.
Become immersed in the African storytelling of Afiah Bey. Be creative and learn about African textiles with Renee Miche'al Jones. We will also honor award- winning author and illustrator Jerry Pinkney.
The first 75 registrants will receive a Kwanzaa craft kit with materials to create their own African textile and 2 mystery book giveaways.
All kits and books are while supplies last.
If that isn't enough, during the program we will announce 2 grand prize winners from the registrants to win a YBR gift basket filled with Jerry Pinkney books and more!
This Kwanzaa celebration is going to be spectacular!
