The second day of Kwanzaa is Kujichagulia, which means "self-determination". It's a day to celebrate the importance of defining and speaking for oneself, and to reaffirm the right of people to determine their own lives. #Kwanzaa I Will Stand, chalk pastel painting by Pamela Cooper . Standing for what you believe in and having the determination and the courage to speak out… to speak up for what is right. To have the determination to see things to completion is important for one’s self.
