Ujima is a major key to us lifting ourselves out of the quagmire we find ourselves as a people. The principle of Ujima supports the fundamental assumption that African is not just an identity, but also a destiny and duty, i.e., a responsibility.

As Alkebu-Lan people, we face challenges that hinder us from speaking for ourselves, naming ourselves, creating for ourselves and defining ourselves. This episode explores individual as well as collective paths that we may take to achieve kujichagulia (self-determination) as a people.

The first principle of Nguzo Saba is Umoja ("unity").  This episode explores and promotes Umoja within our melanated family, community and nation.

The Kujenga podcast is dedicated to efforts focused on building a strong, self sufficient nation of melanated people, using Nguzo Saba principles as its keystone.
