Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers’ and sisters’ problems our problems and to solve them together.

United we stand

Divided we fall

Our historical and ancestral African community

Cried together

Ate together

Worshipped together

Laughed together

Watched children for one another

Not one was a stranger, and everyone is family

No matter the texture of your hair

No matter how light or dark your skin

No matter level of intelligence

We stood and we stand together

Our Black lives mattered before it became a statement

We were proud of our roots

The curve of our hips

The broadness of our back

Together we were

Together we are

When one succeeds, we all succeed!

No one is greater than another

We aim to become a being of wisdom

The next one to tell the littles our history

How we fought the good fight

How we persevered and sacrificed

I am proud of being Black.

I am proud of my curly afro

Proud of my locs

Thick thighs

Multi complexion

Proud of those who went before me

I am the answered prayer of a slave

I am FREEDOM

I am INTEGRITY

I am GRACE

I am who I say I am

I am BLACK

I am TRANS

I am GAY

I am SMART

I am a fighter

Our dreams will be conquered

We History’s maker

And, World Changers!

Until I return to dust

I rise!

We Rise

I am not one without the other

United We Stand

Divided We Fall
