In the midst of holiday celebrations, I want to acknowledge Kwanzaa, an African-American celebration of life, by highlighting the UJAMAA (Cooperative Economics) principle. Racial injustice and inequality have been a couple of the major themes of 2020. I believe that creating Black wealth by supporting Black-owned businesses is an essential part of tackling racial inequality. With … Read More
