Celebration of First Fruits

The Ultimate Divine has bountifully blessed the Afrikan with all that is needed to earnestly build for life’s fullest flourishing. This is reflected in Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) of the wonderful Kwanzaa observance. Each day of this grand celebratory period reflects one of the seven principles. Day four of the Kwanzaa period reflects the principle Ujamaa. It means Cooperative Economics. From the project that brought forth the creative restoration of Kwanzaa, the following is articulated:
“The fourth principle is Ujamaa, Cooperative Economics, which is the principle and practice of shared work and shared wealth. Also, it means and requires shared [reasoning] about work and wealth. The concept Ujamaa, which comes to also mean familyhood, suggests that we should approach economic activity in our relations as we would with family, i.e., in the spirit of kinship and willingness to cooperate to create goods and services and to share what we produce. This is what is meant by the call to build and maintain our own businesses and to profit from them together.”
In celebrating Kwanzaa the Afrikan spiritual and cultural way of life is energised and celebrated. Throughout the year Afrikan souls must surely be and ascend in spiritual and cultural order. This makes the imperative thrust of organisation key. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is an organ of spiritual and cultural fabric in the mission of Afrikan ascendancy. Here, and throughout the year from observance to observance, organisational self-determination is enlivened.
If the Afrikan is not a part of a self-determined organ, he or she is open to become thoroughly organised for the benefit of others. If the Afrikan does not live the Afrikan spiritual and cultural way then he or she is open to the affliction of less-than-self existence (at best) – a pseudo-life imposed by and for the benefit of others.
Celebrate Ujamaa from or for the harvested yield of organised and living self-determination of the Afrikan spiritual and cultural way.
Kwanzaa Yenu Iwe Na Heri!!!! (May Your Kwanzaa be with Happiness!!!!)
