The current economic crisis has fueled a significant increase in Black
entrepreneurship.  This affords an excellent opportunity for Black businesses
and consumers to consider how they might engage in cooperative economics.  One approach that is sponsored by iZania is the launch of "iZania Market Deals" -- a group buying initiative that will offer great deals from the very best Black businesses in our community.

THE FOURTH DAY OF KWANZAA

UJAMAA
Ujamaa (OOH-jah mah) means cooperative economics and is the fourth day of Kwanzaa. On this day of Kwanzaa, we pledge to develop our own businesses and to support them, to maintain shops, stores and industry that contribute to the well-being of our community and to drive out businesses (boycott, etc.) that take FROM our communities and give nothing back.
