Cedric Hameed explores Umoja — the principle of unity — not just as a cultural teaching, but as a lived revelation. Through storytelling, personal reflection, and spiritual insight, Cedric shares how he first came to understand unity as something deeper than agreement or togetherness: as a force that shapes identity, ancestry, and destiny.Cedric's message moves through childhood impressions, the lessons passed down from his family, and the transforming moments in his adult life — including the powerful recent experience of the crimson and emerald auroras that swept the nation. For Cedric, these celestial events serve as reminders of ancestral presence, cosmic alignment, and the living connection between heaven and earth.
The service invites the community into a return to oneness:
A return to family.
A return to self.
A return to the ancestral lines that carried us here.
A return to the divine light within us that responds when the universe speaks.
Umoja becomes not a concept, but an awakening — a call to stand in unity with one another, to move forward as a people, and to honor the sacred bond that ties past, present, and future.
With musical offerings from Aviana and Tyus Hameed, this celebration embodies the true heart of Kwanzaa: unity as living practice, unity as legacy, unity as love.
