For the past decade, non-profit Ujamaa Collective has been a catalyst to advance Africana Women by providing a fair trade marketplace for cultural, artistic and entrepreneurial exchange through cooperative economics in the Historic Hill District and beyond.
---------------
We’ve launched The African-centered Cooperative Research Project with our partners, Cocoapreneur, LLC of Pittsburgh, PA and Sankofa Research Institute, based in Houston, TX, to focus on how to best encourage, engage, teach, model, invest and share about cooperative economics relating specifically to Africana People (all Black people: African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Continental Africans, etc), and particularly Black people in the Greater Pittsburgh area.

If you or those you know are interested in building business and organizational models with shared equity, shared work and shared wealth- connect with us! Cooperative development can advance and strengthen the work and impact of current organizing efforts in the Black community.
