Akpata na abọ di mma nkụkọta.
“It is good to join two brooms together when sweeping.”
-Igbo proverb
Cooperation is the lifeblood of community. The third day of Kwanzaa focuses on the principle of Ujima (Collective work and responsibility), which encourages us “To build and maintain our community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and to solve them together.” This principle teaches us that our obligations are not limited to ourselves, but that they extend to our community as a whole and our collective well-being.
