Rachel HollisHOST
Because I cannot tell you how many times in my life I accidentally completely threw myself off with three weeks of choices that I had spent six months building up.
Rachel HollisHOST
When Halloween comes around, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year's, all of these reasons to celebrate, it is so easy to lose sight of your goals.
Rachel HollisHOST
And I don't want to suggest for one second that you don't enjoy the heck out of every single one of those celebrations.
Rachel HollisHOST
But imagine if you weren't celebrating the holidays seven days a week for the next three months.

Treasure Shields RedmondGUEST
He's not an ancestor as of yet, even though he keeps, he keeps threatening.
Treasure Shields RedmondGUEST
He keeps, he mentions it every time we're together, but, but yes, I'm in the family business, which is being an English professor and a poet and, So yes, he and the members of his writers club created a poetic form called the Kwan Saba made from the words Kwanzaa, which is an African-American harvest festival taken from Swahili East African roots, kind of born out of the black arts movement where people were you know, looking to do things that were for us, by us, about us, near us.
Treasure Shields RedmondGUEST
And the word Saba, which means seven.
Treasure Shields RedmondGUEST
So it is in general, a praise poem made of sevens, seven lines, no more than seven words per line, unless it is a proper noun.
Greg CarrHOST
Black school teachers, DC.
Greg CarrHOST
Young black people, mostly women, introduced in the 1970s Kwanzaa into those schools as a matter, as an act of intellectual warfare.
Greg CarrHOST
Maybe a word or two about that.
Greg CarrHOST
Not only the smash pipeline, that's the first foundation, but then the fight back, including that neighborhood.

That ain't us.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
And one of the things we got to remember is that more intentionally black we are, The more intentionally we focus on uplifting our community, the more intentionally we focus on doing what we have to do to make our community thrive, the more we incorporate the Kwanzaa principles, the more we do that, the better off we're going to be, which is one of the reasons why I spent a significant portion of my weekend watching and rewatching A different world.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST
Did y'all see a different world? Oh my God.
Lurie Daniel FavorsHOST

RektHOST
just say let's just say the 90 day let's just say it was on a 90 day of three months seasonal model like destiny was on before and the content was roughly equivalent to when season started and how much am i paying per month where you had a little story, you had a seasonal, a new seasonal activity and a new gear that was available for 90 days, but you knew that stuff was going to go away.
RektHOST
Maybe the gear would be available some other way later, but, but then that would, that would turn into something else later on top of having like your regular seasonal, like, uh, when I say seasonal, I mean like holiday stuff, you know, something for Valentine's day, something for, you know, Christmas, something for Thanksgiving, something for, Kwanzaa, whatever.
RektHOST
Whatever holidays they want to pick.
RektHOST
Those were also in there.
