What can I say about Ujamaa

I know many of my readers are wondering why I waited until Feb. to write about the ending of Kwanzaa. I did so because it is Black History Month.

I think of the protestors in our country against ICE and how they are standing up to power, participating in shopping blackouts, etc. It’s mind-blowing as to where our country is.

I would like to see people not only boycott big corporations but also patronize local stores, shops, bakeries, and other businesses.

I say this is the time to take power back with the power of our pocketbook, and we don’t do it for the short term, but for the long run. We need to support one another in our businesses and schools.

I am starting to think Kwanzaa is bigger than just remembering West African history, but to make a movement and make it loud for the people of our nation.

So agree with me that it may be costly at first, but the more we pour into local communities and stores, the easier it will get. Good Trouble doesn’t start without Good Pain.
