Kwanzaa Principle: Ujamma: The Power of Cooperative Economics

Source: Reach Media / Radio One Digital

We are talking about the principles of Kwanzaa.  I want to talk about Ujamma, which is collective cooperative.  Collective cooperative economics is the financial power that is created in a community. When you spend money and support the businesses in that community. 

Economics encourages us to spend our money in the community where we live to meet common needs and to help the Community to grow more wealth. As the tide rises in the community, all the boats in the Community will rise. If we live in a community and support the businesses in that community, the Community will get stronger and grow. 

If you don’t, the community as a whole will suffer and shrink the great culture. The great cultures always make a point to support the businesses in their community. I like to say as you can put your money in the community hand today, I encourage you to practice the principle of Ujamma collective cooperative economics, which means we must.  Support the businesses in our community.
