Ujamaa Virtual Marketplace: A Celebration of Cooperative Economics

  • Portland Willamette Valley Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Portland, OR 97210 (map)

In the spirit of unity, interested parties are invited to pre-register here to gain free admission into the virtual space that will feature music, lighting of the fourth candle of Kwanzaa and opening ceremony led by elder Joyce Harris and featured vendors. On the fourth day of Kwanzaa, Tuesday, December 29, the principle of Ujamaa is celebrated. The principle encourages the community and families “to build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.” The participating vendors are Black-owned and operated, small businesses, providing an array of services ranging from spirits to tea, from skin care to barbeque sauce.
