When we suggested Ujamaa make himself up as an African Hero for Halloween we should have known he’d go all out. So it’s no surprise that Ujamaa, the Entrepreneur, decided to dress up this year as Mansa Musa, the 14th Century West African ruler who is said to be the richest man of all…
Hi Folks. I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe, and those cooped up at home are not going stir crazy just yet. The Children feel your pain and this is what passes for a house party right about now. Kuumba and Nia are providing the music and Ujamaa has drinks (for a limited…
