What Does Ujamaa Mean?
Ujamaa (pronounced oo-jah-MAH) is a Swahili word meaning “cooperative economics”—the practice of building and supporting businesses within the community to create shared wealth and sustainability.
Rooted in tradition and the principles of Kwanzaa, Ujamaa represents:
-
Economic Empowerment – Encouraging financial independence through collective support.
-
Community Wealth-Building – Strengthening businesses by reinvesting in each other.
-
Self-Reliance & Growth – Fostering a legacy of entrepreneurship and generational wealth.
At Ujamaa BWK, we honor this tradition by connecting entrepreneurs, providing financial education, and creating economic opportunities for future generations.
