Habari gani? Ujamaa. Two thoughts are entering my mind regarding the fourth Kwanzaa principle. The first is purchasing something from a Black owned business to assist in its continued success. The second is to ponder how I can utilize my knowledge and expertise to also contribute towards fostering self-reliance and cooperative economics.
Today I will not only support a Black owned business, but also examine how I can employ my talents, skills, and experience as part of the collective’s cooperative economics.
