Janice Robinson (au); Paul Shepherd (ph); Katy Blander (il); Alvin Poussaint (fr). In many parts of Africa, it is believed that the name parents give an infant can determine the child’s success in life.

Topics covered include: hosting a Kwanzaa-themed shower; couples showers/daddy showers/cyber showers; libation rituals & prayers; community journals; sister circles; community quilts; prayers & blessings; what foods to serve, incl. recipes; invitations; decorations & favors; activities; gift ideas; birth rituals; selecting an Afrocentric name; & naming ceremony rituals, incl. ceremonial objects, orations, & music.
