As we continue our journey of self-belief and personal growth during this week of Imani, we are reminded of the profound impact that collaboration and gratitude can have on our paths.The essence of Ujamaa lies in our ability to come together, recognizing our interconnectedness and the strength that arises when we pool our resources, talents, and efforts.

Today we will review Kwanzaa Day 4 Principle UJAMAA, which means Cooperative Economics. We have been ritually scammed out of our money. just to give it to the legacy and lineages of another people. That is a destructive practice that we have been perpetuating within our community.

Nel 1864, Raiffeisen fonda la sua prima cooperativa di credito a Heddesdorf. Il borgomastro è riuscito a creare una banca capace di risolvere la tinder trap, sfruttando i rapporti sociali tra i contadini che vivevano nei piccoli borghi rurali tagliati fuori dalle altre banche. Questo modello di banca si diffonde presto nel resto della Germania e dell'Europa, e il suo successo gli ha permesso di arrivare fino ai giorni nostri.In questa serie di episodi torneremo indietro nel tempo, nella Germania di metà ‘800, dove il sindaco di un borgo di montagna ha creato un modello di banca capace di risolvere inefficienze di mercato che ancora oggi affliggono banche, economisti… e utenti delle app di incontri online.

Che cosa hanno in comune gli utenti delle app di incontri online e i contadini tedeschi di metà ‘800? Entrambi devono fare i conti con la selezione avversa e l'azzardo morale! Queste inefficienze di mercato impediscono a chi usa Tinder di trovare il partner perfetto. Le stesse inefficienze lasciavano gli ex servi della gleba esclusi dal sistema bancario, e negavano loro l'accesso al capitale di cui avevano un disperato bisogno.In questa serie di episodi torneremo indietro nel tempo, nella Germania di metà ‘800, dove il sindaco di un borgo di montagna ha creato un modello di banca capace di risolvere inefficienze di mercato che ancora oggi affliggono banche, economisti… e utenti delle app di incontri online.

Il borgomastro Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen ha una soluzione per dare accesso al credito ai contadini: essere tutti più bravi cristiani, smettere di pensare al vile denaro e aiutare il prossimo. Ma prima di realizzare questo paradiso in terra dovrà passare per l'inferno di una carestia, armato solo di una pagnotta di pane.In questa serie di episodi torneremo indietro nel tempo, nella Germania di metà ‘800, dove il sindaco di un borgo di montagna ha creato un modello di banca capace di risolvere inefficienze di mercato che ancora oggi affliggono banche, economisti… e utenti delle app di incontri online.

La finanza, quella vera, non è il trading online o un grasso conto in banca, e non è nemmeno riuscire a comprare un bitcoin proprio prima di un aumento vertiginoso del prezzo. La finanza vera è quella con cui devono confrontarsi i contadini tedeschi di metà ‘800: da poco liberati dalla servitù della gleba e bisognosi di capitale per finanziare investimenti nelle loro piccole imprese agricole.In questa serie di episodi torneremo indietro nel tempo, nella Germania di metà ‘800, dove il sindaco di un borgo di montagna ha creato un modello di banca capace di risolvere inefficienze di mercato che ancora oggi affliggono banche, economisti… e utenti delle app di incontri online.

Habari Gani! Enjoy a guided celebration through the fourth day of Kwanzaa with the Espresso Talk Today team! We'll start with a discussion of the importance of cooperative economics (Ujamaa) in the Black community.  We'll guide you through the candle lighting ceremony with the kinara. Finally, we have a special reading of an original Kwanzaa story about cooperative economics. Harambee! (Swahili for "Let's come together!)

The following audio exclusive  features the entire uncut interview with Pia Mancini, Co-Founder & CEO of Open Collective.  Excerpts of this interview were included in our recent episode "This New Cooperative Business Model Could Change Everything ".  Exploring the question 'Why must new and innovative ideas come to market through old and undemocratic platforms?'  What if rather than selling out, successful businesses became community assets that put ownership and governance in the hands of workers and even consumers? Could a startup become a means of building community wealth, economic justice, and accountability over our technology?  The path from startup to conventional financial success typically involves going public, prioritizing shareholders' interests, and ultimately selling to a giant conglomerate whose intentions are far from the original mission of the business's founders. In this episode, Laura interviews guests who say this conventional path of success is desperately in need of an overhaul.  One of those guests is Pia Mancini of Open Collective. Your year end holiday donation will be tripled by a generous donor matching fund.  Support solution building journalism at 

Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. Today's stories are two African folk tales retold by Baba Wague Diakite that represent some of the principles celebrated during the holiday of Kwanzaa. In both The Magic Gourd and The Hunterman and the Crocodile, Baba Wague shares the principles of Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Faith, and Creativity. At least I can identify those ideas in these wonderful tales. But you might find other principles as well. Baba Wague came to Pocatello as an honored visiting author several years ago. He is a delightful person and a talented artist. It is with pleasure that I share two of his stories today.Now sit back, relax, and listen to these stories come to life.

While I'm away on vacation, the staff at The North Star will be playing some of our favorite episodes from some of our other podcast series. Today, here's an episode of Momentum Advisors from February where they broke down cooperative economics. It's a great one! Be sure to subscribe to them on your favorite podcasting platform! The fourth principle of Kwanzaa is "Ujamaa": Cooperative Economics. This is often defined as coming together to build and maintain our own businesses and real estate to profit from them, together. Black people have been building and benefitting from cooperative economics for decades, particularly in parts of the economy where we've been cut out by major institutions. In this episode, we explore the various ways you can capitalize on cooperative economics today. 

“Time for an Awakening” for Sunday 7/25/21 at 7:00 PM our guest was Author, Professor of Community Justice and Social Economic Development in the Department of Africana Studies at John Jay College, N.Y., Jessica Gordon-Nembhard. The discussion centered around the history of Cooperative Economics and Mutual Aid Societies. We used her classic book “Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice” as a backdrop of the discussion.

1. What does cooperative economics mean to you?2. What is its foundation?3. How is it practiced?4. Is it important? If so why?5. Who is responsible for developing it?6. What do you consider are the most important aspects of it?7.

On this episode of the Black Yield Podcast, Brother Eric returns to chop it up with Lee and Ashley on Cooperative Economics and Collective Works within Food Struggles as well as the importance of collectivism. Collectivism as a concept may sound foreign but if you've ever asked your neighbor for sugar, held down your crew, or been a part of a team then you already know it well. Bigger than us however, every piece of our society is connected. The sooner that we recognize that, the better we will be.Enjoying the podcast?

Habari Gani! Ujamaa! Join Marlene and the Espresso Talk Today Team to celebrate the fourth day of Kwanzaa. Today, we focus on cooperative economics (Ujamaa in Swahili). Lay down your Kwanzaa mat (mkeka in Swahili).   Place your candleholder (kinara in Swahili). Light another red candle. Fill your Unity cups (kikombe cha umoja in Swahili).  See you there!

This year’s Kwanzaa theme is “Kwanzaa and the well-being of the world: living and uplifting the seven principles” and Mark talks with the creator, Pan-African activist and academic Dr. Maulana Karenga, to welcome the holiday and give context to the holiday’s purpose.For this day of Kwanzaa, we’re featuring Mark’s conversation with Marc Morial, President of the National Urban League, who says the phenomenon of today in Black America is the working poor: great jobs, prestigious degrees, but salaries that haven't kept up with inflation and therefore keeps Black people earning an average of $30,000 dollars less than white families per year. And that's just one piece of the pie, as we're facing a health crisis that is spurring on an economic crisis, and simultaneously is the racial justice crisis.Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Credit unions, housing co-ops, CSAs... Black folks have been building and benefitting from cooperative economics for decades, particularly in parts of the economy where we’ve been cut out by the major institutions. As Dr. Jessica Gordon-Nembhard points out, we all participate in some form of cooperative economics when we use the informal economy. In this episode, we dig into the power that we could amass if we took cooperative economics to scale.

Elvy Del Bianco of Vancity Credit Union speaks to the power of cooperatives to help communities meet their own needs. He is in conversation with host Am Johal about the role coops can play in the production of social goods, and how they can support communities of entrepreneurs, small businesses, non-profits, and workers through solidarity and infrastructure. They also discuss the Vancity Emilia-Romagna Co-operative Study Tour and how this particular area of northern Italy has what Elvy calls, “the most significant cooperative economy on earth.” It’s also a region that sees some of the lowest poverty rates and highest levels of civic engagement in Italy. Am and Elvy discuss how similar cooperative policies and models could be implemented in BC and Vancouver to bolster communities, address precarious work, and deliver much needed services.

Pooling money together has been a thing since the beginning of time. Many folks did it before systems were put in place to get a piece of the pie, oops I meant to "regulate" the activity.  Nowadays there's a lot of buzz about circles, schemes, and sold dreams and people want to know if these activities are legal and if they "work". In this episode, Hyacinth discusses the history of cooperative economics as well as the fundamentals that we must not lose sight of.  For more financial education and empowerment visit Hyacinth's YouTube channel.   

With this month being Black Business Month, it is only right that we are talking about black women and entrepreneurship. Join me as I talk with Alyson Rae Lawson (RaeLawson Enterprise/RaeLawson Enterprise 2.0) and Jamila McGill (Brooklyn Tea) about their entrepreneurial journeys. We discuss everything from Cooperative Economics and what it means to support black women-owned businesses during this time. Don't forget to celebrate Black Business Month by supporting Black-Owned Businesses not only this month but 365 days a year.

  There is power in the crowd; but only if that crowd is moving toward the same goal! When considering the concept of cooperative economics; a concept I call “The Hive” You must be sure of the integrity of your group; wether it be family, business associates or friends. It is great for the members to have different views, skill sets and backgrounds. They just need to be on one accord as to the groups objective.   The strength of the cooperative is not just the money each person brings to the group; but also, the knowledge and energy! You don't know everything; so don't pretend. No one can make it alone!   I'm not talking about multi-level marketing schemes like friends and family here! No, I'm talking about family cooperative trusts that are designed to survive over multiple generations. I'm talking about private family banks that stand ready to bridge the gaps left by Comercial banks, and their unwillingness to provide assistance.   Cooperative economics can also work like an investment club, where the group of family members or cooperative pools their funds to build an investment portfolio of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, life insurance, ETF's and Comercial real estate to build and transfer multi-family; multi-generational wealth. Of all these assets, the most impactful is life insurance!

Anything built to last and that's meaningful has a team of wonderful people behind it.

What would a Black city based on radical cooperative economic visions really look like? In Search of Black Power Hosts Lady Brion and Lawrence Grandpre present two examples of these futures. The first, based upon real Black organizing in Baltimore, presents a vision of how culture becomes the seeds for grassroots community revitalization. The second, based upon a cooperative visioning process, dreams of the new institutions cooperative Black Power could create. Can these "Sankofa cities" pull from the best of our Black collective past to build a new future? We interview noted scholar Jessica Gordon Neimhardt to help us in our quest.

LaKeisha Wolf, Executive Director of Ujamaa Collective discusses the history of the collective and its plans to expand. Vernon and Lakeisha also discuss the role that Ujamaa Collective plays in the community, and how it has incorporated the needs of the community to create other cooperatives, which is in keeping with the meaning of it's name. Ujamaa is the fourth of the seven Nguzo Saba principles of Kwanzaa, and it means Cooperative Economics. Vernon and Lakeisha also discuss the other six principles of Kwanza and how their meanings are used as guiding principles of life. As a first-generation Pittsburgher, LaKeisha Wolf has developed her roots across the community working at the intersection of social justice, arts, culture and entrepreneurship. She is a founding member of the Hill District based non-profit Ujamaa Collective, serving as Executive Director since 2013. In this role, LaKeisha focuses on the business affairs and cooperative development of emerging Africana women-owned craft industries. She has over 17 years' experience in community, organizational and leadership development, consulting with numerous organizations including Sankofa Community Empowerment, Inc., Community Human Services Corporation, The Legacy Arts Project, Inc., and the Alliance for Police Accountability. LaKeisha holds a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from Penn State University (2001) where she served as Black Caucus President, helping to establish the State of Pennsylvania's first Africana Research Institute at PSU. In addition, she's also a graduate of NASCO Institute's Emerging Cooperative Leaders Program. Ujamaa Collective Marketplace opened its doors in 2010, offering the high-quality and handmade goods of the women of the Ujamaa Collective, local and international artisans to the Pittsburgh Region. The idea was a simple one: Black women, entrepreneurs, acting in unity for the benefit of the individual entrepreneur, the collective and the community. Integral to this concept was the inclusion of a green marketplace that would benefit the Hill District community physically, economically, socially and spiritually.

Ujamaa is the name/Cooperative Economics is the game. Ishmaelillustrated and I discuss what cooperative comics means for the black community!

Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration honoring African identity, heritage and culture. Each of the seven days of Kwanzaa celebrates a different value of African culture that helps to build and reinforce community. During last year's Kwanzaa celebrations in Rochester, Jessica Lewis moderated a panel during the celebration of Ujamaa, which means "Cooperative Economics." Much of the panel discussion centered on themes of encouraging entrepreneurship in the black community, citing research that black-owned businesses account for just 7% of small businesses (despite making up 13% of the population) and the fact that a dollar stays in the black community for just six hours. Jessica also debuted her show "Ujamaa Rising," which profiles black-owned businesses in Rochester, many of which have a distinct Conscious Capitalism ethos of community engagement. Jessica is the Principal Publicist & Owner of LáLew Public Relations and the ROC the Future Communications Specialist at The Children’s Agenda. She is a 2018 ATHENA Award finalist and a Woman to Watch for the Democrat & Chronicle Newspaper. Jessica is a successful entrepreneur, owning the fastest growing, Black-owned public relations firm in Rochester, New York. LáLew Public Relations is a full service PR firm specializing in media relations, marketing, branding, web management, social media and community engagement. LáLew serves a variety of clients and has landed client appearances on WROC News 8, WHEC News 10, WHAM News 13, Spectrum News, Democrat and Chronicle Newspaper, City Newspaper and more. Jessica’s success was recognized by the Rochester Business Journal as a Small Business Feature of the Week. Jessica is also the host of Ujamaa Rising, a television show that features Black-owned businesses and real-life stories of entrepreneurs. Jessica received her Bachelor’s degree from Buffalo State College in Social Studies Education grades 7-12 and a Master’s degree in Teaching and Curriculum from the Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education at the University of Rochester. Jessica holds membership in the Rochester Association of Black Journalists, the Democrat & Chronicle Young Professionals Advisory Council and the Theta Omega Sigma Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.

There was once a grocery store in Chicago that Black folks LOVED. And that grocery store made one of the most iconic commercials the city has ever seen. We hear the story behind that commercial. Plus, what does it mean to “buy Black?” And how… practical is that? Brittany and Eric go on a scavenger hunt to figure it out. To commemorate our 1 year anniversary, we’ll be playing the hits, as determined by you, all month. The people voted, and here we have it— part 3 of The Best of The Nod, featuring "Moo and Oink" and "Buy Black. " Watch the classic "Moo and Oink" commercial here.

Laura speaks with Aaron Tanaka, founder and director of the Center for Economic Democracy (CED) about his longtime advocacy and visionary work for the next system of solidarity economics. To change the circumstances of injustice, we have to build our communities' governance power to take control of their economic resources -- so says Tanaka. Tanaka and the CED are one of the many organizations behind Boston's Ujima program, which is funneling the discourse of democratic economics into the practice we need and helping communities of color direct their resources into the ideas they believe in, through a cooperative model of community budgeting. Music featured comes by way of Tenderflex ft. Dynasty Electric, Ayler Young, Jay Rodriguez  and by George Martinez & The Global Block Collective released on Occupy This Album.

Under the Trump regime, we'll certainly have to be on the defense to protect the communities most likely to be attacked -- but we'll also have to build powerful, alternative models where POC, Muslim, undocumented, disabled, and queer folks have leadership. In this week's episode, Laura speaks with Aaron Tanaka, founder and director of the Center for Economic Democracy about his longtime advocacy and visionary work for the next system of solidarity economics. Tanaka wants to know if Trump will make us think think or act differently about extractive capitalism. To change the circumstances of injustice, whether it's mass incarceration or mass displacement, we have to build our communities' governance power to take control of their economic resources -- so says Tanaka. Tanaka and the Center for Economic Democracy are one of the many organizations behind Boston's Ujima program, which is funneling the discourse of democratic economics into the practice we need. The Ujima project is helping communities of color direct their resources into the ideas they believe in, through a cooperative model of community budgeting. All this, and an F-Word from Laura on why we've got to look beyond personality politics to understand the actual culture that's driving the nation's voters.

Kwanzaa is a week long celebration (Dec 25 to Jan 1) held in the United States to honor universal African heritage and culture. Kwanzaa is a celebration that came out of the black nationalist movement of the 1960s. It was created as a way to help African Americans reconnect with their African cultural and historical heritage. Every night, people light a candle on a kinara (candle holder) which represent the follwing principles: Unity, Self-determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith.

Kwanzaa is a unique holiday celebrated primarily in the African-American community from December 26 to January 1. While it is a celebration of African principles, culture and history, it can be celebrated by anyone and anywhere. In this episode we give a brief overview of Kwanzaa as well as discuss our motivations for why we celebrate it. Whether you've never heard of this holiday, or you have been interested in it but never knew how to begin your own celebrations, this episode is for you. This isn't a comprehensive analysis of the holiday, but we hope to give you a starting point in which you can conduct your own exploration into it. Listen. Learn. Enjoy.

Introduction to Kwaanza!   Welcome back to robinlofton.com!  Thanks for listening this December because the podcasts this month are very special. Actually, all the podcasts are special (like November’s Wiki history podcasts about Blacks in the Military or October’s wiki history lecture series about Black Explorers). The wiki history lecture series this month will recognize a holiday and discuss ways to celebrate this holiday.   So, without further ado, what is the holiday?  Kwanzaa!   That’s right, the wiki history lecture series is about Kwanzaa. Last month, I promised to do this series about this important holiday so that’s what we’re gonna do.  I hope you remembered that the History is Power! lecture for December has been delayed until January so that we could devote more time to studying Kwanzaa (which you will hear is a great mixture of history, culture, politics, Pan-Africanist principles, and spirituality).  But the History is Power! Lecture series will return in January and will discuss the civil rights movement—lots of interesting information and stories there so don’t miss it next month.   Back to Kwanzaa! Let me begin by wishing you, “Heri za Kwanzaa!” which means Happy Kwanzaa! In this wiki history podcast, I will introduce Kwanzaa: what it is, how it developed, why it’s important, who celebrates it and how it can be celebrated. Let’s get started.   What is Kwanzaa?   Kwanzaa is a 7-day celebration that honors the African heritage in African American culture.  It was founded by Dr. Maulauna (Ron) Karenga in 1965 and first celebrated the following year in 1966. Dr. Karenga (who is a very interesting and inspirational person) believed (and still believes) that it i important for African Americans to get more in touch with their African roots, culture, traditions and customs.           This is not a recent development. During the Black Nationalist movement of the 1960s, African Americans started looking beyond the United States to discover or re-discover what had been systematically stripped away from us during slavery: our connection to Africa, culture, heritage, language, and way of life. So, Kwanzaa is one way to help African Americans and other Blacks around the world to reconnect with their cultural and historical legacies. This is done through studying African principles, recognizing African traditions and customs and practicing specific rituals.   But it is not heavy and boring. Kwanzaa is a celebration. It is uplifting, motivating, and fun!   We will broadly discuss the principles in the podcast but let’s back up for a moment.  What do you know about the word, Kwanzaa?   Kwanzaa is a Swahili word, which is from East Africa. It is the language used by Pan-Africanists. The full name of the holiday is actually Matunda ya Kwanza.  It means the “first fruits of the harvest.” This gives us a little hint into the focus of the celebration. But there is much more to it that we’ll learn about later.   As I mentioned at the beginning, there are 7 principles of the Kwanzaa celebration. I will simply mention the principles today and I’ll say them in English. But in later podcasts, I will go into much more detail and use their Swahili names.   Here are the principles:   First principle: Unity Second principle: Self-Determination Third Principle: Collective Work and Responsibility Fourth Principle: Cooperative Economics Fifth Principle: Purpose Sixth Principle: Creativity Seventh Principle: Faith   So, there you have them: the seven principles of Matunda ya Kwanzaa. Dr. Karenga developed them (he said) from the best African thinkers and practitioners.   Let me repeat them: Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith.   We will discuss these seven principles over the next seven podcasts so stay tuned.   Together with these principles are the traditions, rituals, and symbols. I will just briefly mention the seven symbols that accompany the seven principles—this could give you an opportunity to go out and buy these items. They’re not hard to find! You might even find some of them in your own home. But they are important and you’ll learn why in the coming shows.  They are:   1.    A decorative mat 2.    Corn or other crops (remember, it’s the first harvest) 3.    Candle holder with seven candles 4.    A communal cup (that’s a cup for sharing) 5.    Small gifts 6.    Sign or poster of the seven principles 7.    Flag with red, black and green   See? These items aren’t weird or unusual but they are meaningful. And don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of time to collect these items for your daily Kwanzaa celebration.    And what to wear? That is usually one of my first questions when I receive an invitation: what should I wear?   It’s not complicated:   Traditionally, men wear dashikis (or shirts) and women wear kaftans (or dresses).   Finally, you might be wondering how many people celebrate Kwanzaa? Great question!   It’s difficult to know how many people celebrate Kwanzaa around the world but the number falls somewhere between 2 million and 30 million. It is celebrated in Canada, France, Great Britain, Jamaica, Brazil as well as the United States.   So, that is almost all for today.    The next seven podcasts will be dedicated to each of the seven principles of Kwanzaa. And you will hear great ways to celebrate and recognize the holiday—in big and grand ways or in small and subtle ways.  Whichever way that you choose will be uplifting and inspirational and lots of fun for everyone. The next podcast will discuss the first principle of Kwanzaa. Do you remember which principle it is?  Unity. It’s a great principle to start with.   I just want to tell you that my reasons for introducing and discussing Kwanzaa. I know that many of us are thinking of other holidays right now like Christmas, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, or the Dongzhi Festival. But Kwanzaa is special to me because it is a unique and authentic way to learn about, recognize, and connect with African culture. And you (or I) can still celebrate these other holidays, if you choose. Hey, I love Christmas but I don’t ever want to forget where my people came from or what they have endured and overcome for me to be who, what, and where I am today.    Because African culture is so important, keeping it alive and showing it the proper respect are critical to knowing who we are, I am supporting (through these podcasts) the Association for the Study of African American Life & History. It was established in 1915 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson (remember him?) to promote, research, preserve, interpret, and disseminate information about Black life, history and culture around the world. And for the past 100 years (yes, they’re about to celebrate their centennial anniversary!) this organization has been working hard to promote Black history and culture worldwide. They have an active organization and website: the address is www.asalh.org where you can join, get information about their activities, purchase their black history theme kits, books and journals, and find lots of great information. I just want to add as well that they are participating in an Oral History Project on Black Veterans to ensure that African American voices will be amply represented in the history of American wars. If you enjoyed my November podcasts about Blacks in the military, I think that you will be fascinated by their Oral History Project on Black Veterans.       I strongly support the Association for the Study of African American Life & History and I hope that you will too. You can also follow them on Twitter and Like them on Facebook. For every person who listens to these Kwanzaa podcasts in December, I will make a donation of $1 to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.   So, tell your friends! It is my honor and pleasure to support such an important organization.  Remember, the Association for the Study of African American Life & History. www.asalh.org.   I hope that you have enjoyed this wiki history lecture introducing Kwanzaa. And I hope that you will attend the entire wiki history lecture series this month.  See you next time for the first wiki history Kwanzaa lecture about Unity.   Remember to visit robinlofton.com. Leave your comments and questions. Tell me how you celebrate Kwanzaa or other ways that you keep African history and culture alive in your family. Share your experiences.  I love to talk but I always love to hear from my listeners.   And a big thank you to Jon Knox who has composed this special music for these Wiki History Kwanzaa lectures. He always does such great work; these podcasts wouldn’t be the same without his music.   See you next time at robinlofton.com. Heri za Kwanzaa!
