Imani ” The Kwanzaa principle of Imani means both “faith” and “compassion”. Worldwide the African people are religious people. They have faith in God. And yet they do not always have faith in themselves. Self-confidence is of the utmost importance for the redemption of the African people. They need to believe in themselves. But the Swahili word Imani also means “compassion”. So, the African people need not merely have faith in themselves but also compassion towards others. Internal confidence and external compassion — self-recognition and respect for others.” [Mental Physical Spiritual Health]
