HAPPY JUNETEENTH 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

We can't wait to see you later! It's time to celebrate 🥳

Founded on Juneteenth 2021, Ujamaa was created as a space rooted in culture, community, creativity, and connection. Over the past five years, it has grown into more than a bookstore—it has become a safe haven for youth, a platform for diverse voices, and a home for storytelling, dialogue, performances, and community healing.

We are steeped in today with both our Juneteenth Celebration, celebrating 5 years of the Ujamaa Community Bookstore, and Live Music Fridays at Cleo's Bodega & Cafe' featuring Austin Dean Ashford!

See you all soon!

What are you doing tomorrow?!

We hope to see you at Ujamaa Community Bookstore to celebrate Juneteenth AND 5 years!

This Juneteenth, we're celebrating the people, partnerships, and purpose that have made this journey possible. ❤️🖤💚

When unexpected policy changes affected his financial aid, Keaun faced a sudden bill that threatened his ability to enroll. Flanner House helped close that gap, allowing him to continue his studies.

On May 26th, 2026, Keaun Michael Brown graduated from IU Indianapolis with Majors in Political Science and Africana Studies. Coupled with his hard work, Keaun's last year was supported by the Joyce Johnson Memorial Scholarship.

Our Annual Golf Outing benefits the Joyce Johnson Memorial Scholarship Fund, helping provide educational opportunities and vital support services for individuals and families throughout our community.
