Ujima STL

Virtual interviews start next week! ??????

Habari gani!? Happy New Year from the Ujima team! Today’s Kwanzaa principle is Imani (ee-MAH-nee) and means Faith. In 2025 we will focus on the things we can control. Life often comes with unfortunate trials and tribulations. However we have the ability to give effort with consistency, have gratitude for the gift of life, to be accountable for our actions, and to love ourselves and one another unconditionally. Peace and love. ?????? #Kwanzaa #Imani #Faith #2025

Habari gani!? Today’s Kwanzaa principle is Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) and means Creativity. In November 2021 we purchased a house and 5 lots in North St. Louis city. Now that we are land owners, our trajectory has changed completely. Not only have we invested in our property, we are committed to invest in Fairground Neighborhood and the rest of North St. Louis. How can we creatively support and uplift marginalized communities that exist outside the confines of capitalism and white supremacy? Peace and love. ?????? #Kwanzaa #Kuumba #Creativity #2024

Habari gani!? Today’s Kwanzaa principle is Nia and means Purpose. This year has taught us that life is very fragile. We were witnesses to genocides happening across the planet in real time. Moving forward, we want to enthusiastically live with purpose and compassion. Peace and love. ?????? #Kwanzaa #Nia #Purpose #2024

Habari gani!? Today's Kwanzaa principle is Ujamaa (oo-JAH-mah) and means Cooperative Economics. This year we were very strategic about our partnerships. We want to create an ecosystem in which like-minded organizations can thrive while making an impact. What sacrifices are we willing to make to help our communities become a better place in 2024? Imagine what could happen if entreprenuers and organizations operated with the intention to support one other... Peace and love. ?????? #Kwanzaa #Ujamaa #CooperativeEconomics #2024

Habari gani!? Today's Kwanzaa principle is Kujichagulia or Self Determination. 2024 has unfortunately been another year of loss, grief, and tragedies. It's easy to forget how much we accomplished this year. What are some personal goals you achieved this year? It is important to celebrate our victories, no matter how small they seem. Peace and love. ?????? #Kwanzaa #Kujichagulia #SelfDetermination #HappyHolidays #2024

Habari gani!? (What's the news?) Happy Kwanzaa y'all! Today's principle is Umoja (0o-MO-jah) and means Unity. What daily decisions can we make to create a better life for our families, our communities and our planet? Peace and love. ?????? #Kwanzaa #Umoja #Unity #HappyHolidays #2024
