Today for Kwanza we celebrate "Ujima", the essence of collective work and responsibility. And to celebrate, I honor my ancestors passed whose collective work and responsibility resulted in the privileges I experience. From the top left down are my mother Willena Gamble, my aunt Jackie Gamble Johnson, my maternal grandfather Willie E. Gamble. The second row includes my maternal great-grandmother Mabel Cowherd, my father Rufus Hooten III, and my paternal grandfather Rufus Hooten Jr. The final row honors my paternal great-grandparents Alzenia and Rufus Hooten Sr. I am grateful for their sacrifice, dedication, and lessons they've given me. I am them and they are me. They provide me guidance, blessings, and knowledge. #UJIMA #kwanzaa https://www.instagram.com/p/Br8qdSgHcHtYctuKHZx3692b28X5CuSIXZv7K80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x8z058kxr79f
