What's New in Kwanzaa

3.1

December 17, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. * Notifications! If you give the app permission, it will give you a short Kwanzaa message each day of Kwanzaa. As a bonus, the app icon will show a number so you'll know the day of Kwanzaa without even opening the app! I mean, for this reason alone, we shoulda called this version 3.5, people! (You can always turn off these notifications under Settings > Notifications > Kwanzaa.) * Page Updates. Some minor changes to the "More Info" pages, including links to Venus's social media sites. * Other behind-the-scenes improvements to support future improvement ideas.

Relevant now more than ever

Kwanzaa was developed to unite people of African descent. It is an expression of our identity which must be reinforced continuously in a world that seeks to define us. The wonderful app is a gift to the diaspora. I benefit from using it every day. The affirmations feed the soul and strengthen the spirit! Reclaim our narrative!

An app full of the spirit of love and unity

I’m so grateful for this app and the education
And affirmation it has provided as I picked up and decided to celebrate Kwanzaa for the first time with intention. Venus is a gifted artist who is fulfilling her creative purpose and loving this world so well. I look forward to continued use, continued affirmation. Love and Blessings.

Ase!
