That evening JoJo's family attends their first Kwanzaa celebration at their housing project's community center where Chimbuko (Howard Rollins), an activist and former drug addict who has walked the road of recovery for five years, sees Kwanzaa as a way to help the community come together to meet the changes in their neighborhood.
When JoJo's grandmother Queenesther (Novella Nelson) is chosen as the community elder to begin the Umoja (Swahili for "mutual well-being") ceremony, she proudly asks her grandson to share his school essay with the gathering.
The overt intent of the program to educate viewers on the meaning and importance of the Kwanzaa holiday never eclipses the storytelling, which effectively uses humor and drama to create an authentic African American family story.
