Ujamaa- Cooperative Economics
To build and maintain our own stores ,shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.
This photo is from a brother at the swap meet among others that I always frequent. This image from a previous post taken with film from an old twin reflex camera.
Many of us have had our own business whether the main income or part time, as do I ,and it can be a struggle. It is most important to support each other in our ventures as to strengthen each other. It is so easy to go to the large market, mall, mass producer and get the great deal. I get it sometimes that is what seems to make sense, however I am surely willing to pay a little bit more to support individual and the small business, local farmer or struggling artist when I can so they may continue to work for themselves and in turn get something a bit more personal, grown with love , and the one of a kind items.
