🌊 Nia — The Story Behind the Candle Nia means “purpose” in Swahili, one of the guiding principles of Kwanzaa. It is about knowing who you are, why you are here, and how your actions serve your community. Nia asks us to live with intention — not simply to move through life, but to create meaning through what we do. The name carries weight in African diasporic traditions, reminding us that purpose is not only personal but collective. It is about building, restoring, and contributing. To light Nia is to set a small reminder: “I live with purpose, and every act carries meaning.” 💡 Did you know? In the celebration of Kwanzaa, Nia is the fifth principle — a day dedicated to reflecting on personal and community goals. The practice is not just celebratory but deeply practical, inviting people to commit to actions that uplift future generations. Burning Nia transforms the air with both fragrance and intent, a quiet ritual for re-aligning with the path you want to walk.
