The event is organized by the Gwinnett County Black Chamber of Commerce, Black Gwinnett Magazine, and the Urban Mediamakers, all of whom are committed to fostering community engagement and empowerment. Participants will also have the chance to network with one another while discussing a strategic plan aimed at building Black unity and strength for 2026 and beyond.

So, gather your loved ones and join us in celebrating Kwanzaa! It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect, learn, and rejoice in the spirit of self-determination and community.
