Join Nexus' North Star Black Cooperative Fellowship for a Black Study Session to connect Kwanzaa and the solidarity economy through mutual aid!


Wednesday, Dec. 2

5:00 - 7:00 pm CST

Zoom (virtual)


This Black Study Session will be a space for participants to learn how Kwanzaa connects to the solidarity economy and support collective uplift through mutual aid. We will begin with an introduction and overview of Kwanzaa to ground ourselves, with a focus on Ujamaa (cooperative economics). Then, we will facilitate an offers and needs market—a type of mutual aid used to identify and exchange knowledge, skills, resources, opportunities, and needs within our community. Join us as we learn and apply Kwanzaa principles, particularly Ujamaa, as well as mutual aid!


Black Study Sessions are free, virtual, live, and open to all while centering Black people and Black experiences. This is a Black-centered space where we will prioritize uplifting Black voices and safety.
