Kwanzaa or Naw?: Why Juneteenth, But No Ujamaa

Episode 9

Hosted by B.I.G. Nel Obuya
Outlaw Radeo Podcast

Black America shows up big for Juneteenth — cookouts, festivals, concerts, corporate “support,” and a new wave of Foundational Black American pride.
But when December hits?
Kwanzaa barely gets the respect it deserves… especially Ujamaa, the principle of cooperative economics.

In this episode, we dig into:

🔥 Why Juneteenth took off nationally, but Kwanzaa didn’t
🔥 Foundational Black American Perspective
🔥 What Ujamaa really means for Black survival in 2025
🔥 Whether we actually practice cooperative economics
🔥 Why there’s no need for beef between Cultural Nationalists & Pan-Africans
🔥 How we can celebrate FBA heritage while honoring African roots and New Afrikan culture
🔥 The December Ujamaa mindset — and how to build together
