Seventeen years ago, Ujima was born out of a simple need to tell our community’s stories. From glossy pages to digital media, our journey has been one of resilience, growth, and love for the people that make a difference in the world and our communities.

In this issue we celebrate 17 years of Everyday Heroes, culture, and community. Thank you for walking this journey with us — the best is still ahead.
