Tomorrow is the night!

Join us for our Ujamaa Business Mixer as we come together to celebrate cooperative economics, supporting our own, building together, and strengthening our community through connection.

We’re excited to share that food will be provided by two incredible Capital Region businesses:

Umana Yana (Albany)
A Black woman-owned restaurant creating a true meeting place for the people through Afro-Caribbean and Asian-Caribbean fusion cuisine.

Soulicious (Schenectady)
A family-owned favorite serving up soul food and Caribbean comfort food with love and flavor.

This gathering is for everyone, families, entrepreneurs, local businesses and organizations who believe in the spirit of Ujamaa, owning our own, circulating our dollars, and growing collectively.

Come celebrate.
Come network.
Come build with us.

Today marks the first day of Kwanzaa, and we’re excited to celebrate alongside the Capital Region Kwanzaa Coalition for a full week of reflection, culture, and community, hosted by different organizations across the region, beginning today!

Each night honors one of the Nguzo Saba principles and reminds us of the values that ground us, guide us, and keep us connected.

We especially look forward to gathering on Monday, December 29 as Community Fathers hosts a celebration of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics). A night focused on owning our own stores, doing business together, and moving beyond the one-person hustle into collective power.

Come celebrate.
Come connect.
Come build with us.

Fellas, TOMORROW is our day!

The I Am Father Festival kicks off , Saturday, August 9 at 1PM in Jerry Burrell Park.

This year’s theme is We Are Dreamers, a reminder that no matter where we are in life, it’s never too late to dream again.

We’ll have real conversations, free food, amazing vendors, and resources for fathers and families. This is about building each other up, sharing what we’ve learned, and making sure no man walks alone in his journey.
