In the tradition of the Latin@/x diasporic celebration of 3 Kings. It is a day in celebration for honoring the lives of our communal children, who are the hope of our futures. This year we continue to center our 3 Kings Celebration on our mission of NURTURING LEADERS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE, and invite our community to reflect on how leadership is something that all children have the power to be raised in from within them.

The Theme “Planting a Seed” invites our community to be welcomed into a conversation with our young people about what creates the opportunities for someone to be raised in the nature of leadership within them to use their gifts in service of our communities. As we will be devising this work during the progression of the 2024 Presidential Elections in the United States, we will have our young people move through workshops, conversations and creative art making spaces that will have them reflecting on what makes someone serve in their leadership centered on “Peace and Justice.”

We will pay homage to past leaders in People’s Movements, and look at the diversity of defining “leadership” to support young people to explore and reflect on leaders they recognize in their neighborhoods, their homes and within themselves.

They will also be supported to a greater understanding that if we are all raised in our gifts to lead, and that our community becomes stronger in their ability to collectivize power. We will explore the power of the ecology of Nature and how it survives as it can be used as metaphor for the ecology of our homes, neighborhoods and communities seeking to rise in the face of injustice that threatens our lives everyday.

This experience, like all of our 3 King experiences, will be framed through the eyes of the children and their connection to and understanding of leadership, echoing all the children who are seeking leadership around and within themselves to create a world that is rooted in justice, peace and that allows for the self determination of all life. In accepting ourselves as leaders we also accept our connection and accountability to each other and the future we hold together.

Annually, CCCADI hosts a panel of Lucumi priests (oluwos, oba oriates, and oloshas) for an evening of multi-generational dialogue on the cultural, social, and philosophical implications of the long-standing tradition La Letra del Año or Odu of the Year. All are welcome to participate in this virtual discussion, the first installment of our Sacred Traditions series in 2025!

La Letra del Año or Odu of the Year is a forecast offered to the community as a result of the Lucumi divination ceremony held by a council of babalawos in Cuba. Announced on January 1st, this “reading” provides a sacred blueprint and predictions for the year ahead.

In Yorubaland, the ceremony is usually conducted during the Odun Ifa Festival later in the Gregorian Calendar.

CCCADI’s Sacred Traditions: Letra del Año panel discussion centers the collective wisdom of the Lucumi community in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, in response to this annual tradition. This program is not a divination ceremony nor meant to replace the wisdom and guidance of Lucumí elders and practitioners across the globe who also divine on behalf of their countries, regions, and iles (religious houses and temples) and country-specific associations.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in dialogue throughout the program. You must register in advance to receive the link to the virtual program.

Este programa contará con un intérprete de español.

Guest Speakers: Oluwo Joseph Caroll-Miranda, Oluwo Raymond Crawford, Oba Oriate Frank Bell, Oba Oriate & Danny Rodriguez.

Moderator: Marinieves Alba, Olo-Obatala

It's 1950. Oscar and Gris hurtle towards Washington, DC on a mission: strike in the name of Puerto Rican independence. When their trip goes off the rails, the two men confront familiar faces from the past, new questions about the future, and a tough decision to stay the course or get off the train. If only the other passengers would stop interrupting!  Loosely based on historical events and definitely based on recent ones, the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo) is a funny, gripping rollercoaster ride through Puerto Rico's relationship to the United States.

Umoja, the first of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, speaks to maintaining unity in ‘our family, community, nation, and race’. Join us at the CCCADI Firehouse on Saturday, December 21st for a special holiday edition of Sou Sou! Saturdays and for some much needed time for Cultivating Umoja.

The first activation of the day (12p-2p), presented by Brujas of Brooklyn and designed for adults (21+), will consist of an engaging discussion exploring the socio-political history of Dominicans in NYC. Through a historical lens, the Brujas of Brooklyn will explore the Dominican experience in the U.S., delving into the legacy of the Trujillo dictatorship, the dynamics of Dominican migration to New York City, and how identity politics shape political behavior. Join the conversation, ask tough questions, and help shape the future of Dominican political engagement in the United States.

During the second half of the day (2:30p-4:30p), Fatima Logan-Alston and Threads of Truth will guide families (all ages are welcome) through an interactive performance that will teach us about Kwanzaa and its history and symbols. Kwanzaa is a non-religious cultural holiday based on seven principles, or the Nguzo Saba, created by Dr. Maulana Karenga to celebrate the rich heritage of people of African descent and to build community connection and collaboration. Attendees will be guided and invited to participate in song, music, and dance as they are comfortable. The performance will end with the traditional Harambee farewell.

All are welcome to attend this intergenerational day of unity and community bonding, which will also include a cultural marketplace featuring a variety of vendors from our community for your holiday shopping, and a Family Village space for children to express themselves with arts + crafts throughout the day.

In times like these, let’s Cultivate Umoja!

Sou Sou! Saturday: Cultivating Umoja

Suggested Donation: $10

Saturday December 21st, 2024 12:00 - 5:00 PM

Los Nutcrackers: A Christmas Carajo is a queer, Latinx comedic holiday play inspired by two holiday classics: The Nutcracker & A Christmas Carol.

Los Nutcrackers centers around the relationship of Carlos and Gabriel, a couple bonded by 15 years of love and turmoil. Their incessant bickering sends them into the queer heavens, where a ghetto diva spirit guides them on a whirlwind journey of their shared history.

What happens next is best described in one word:

¡Carajo!
