particularly in college, because it is
an American holiday.
“Now that I’ve learned about it,
I’ve embraced it,” Majekobaje said.
A second group, presented self
determination, or Kujichagulia.
They wore solid black outfits and
white gloves. They read a poem
“Into the light.”
Zeta Phi Beta sorority and Phi
Beta Sigma fraternity members
worked together, tapping rhythms
with painted sticks, to build a blue
house for Ujima, which is collective
work and responsibility.
Another skit, a beauty shop
scene, enacted cooperative eco
nomics, or Ujamaa. They decided
working at the salon wasn’t getting
them anywhere and that four
women with college degrees
should be doing more.
They put their heads and degrees
together and started a fictional mag
azine that they called “Sister to
Brother.” ■
Nia, the next group, took a slight
ly different approach to presenting
their principle. Nia means purpose
and instead of acting something
out, these students went to area
middle schools to talk about career
goals with them. They videotaped
the visits, though the tape showed
students saying the same thing at
different schools.
Many people left during the
Outreach

Bolder Options, which is for older
youths who have been through the
court system.
Through group and individual
activities, Pathfinders guides at-risk
middle school students. Mentors
have one-on-one contact with their
students, as well as monthly meet
ings with the other mentors, said
Melinda Hoder, the program’s coor
dinator. Not only that, but both
mentors and students participate in
group activities, which can range
from rock climbing to pizza parties.
In total, the time commitment is
about 12 to 15 hours a month.
Bolder Options — targeted at
youths who have had run-ins with
the juvenile court system—requires
a bit more of a time commitment,
Hoder said. The program asks men
tors to provide four hours per week,
tl iree weeks out of every four.
It also asks that mentors be at
least 20 years old, because the
youth involved are somewhat old
er, between the ages of 13 and 18.
Bolder Options is a one-on-one
monitoring program that focuses on
developing skills within youth.
“They do a lot of just personal
hanging out, just getting to know
you, recreational type activities,”
said Susan Walsh, the program’s co
ordinator.
Split into two separate paths, both
of which require a yearlong commit
ment, the program has different ac-*
video, but its message, or the re
maining two principles of Kwan
zaa, were not lost on the remaining
audience members.
For Kuumba, or creativity, the
group took an educational approach.
In the beginning of the presentation,
which read like a book report, stu
dents listed influential African
American writers and artists.
The Kuumba presentation livened
up when Rayna Luvert delivered a
beat poem oration on equal opportu
nity.
“Equal opportunity?” she asked.
“They already fought that fight?”
“Today, people, we still got to
fight,” she said.
Five women presented “Imani is
Faith,” a poem written by Majekobaje
for the event. Each woman gave a
glimpse into what faith can mean,
covering topics such as recovery from
sin and the faith of finding true love.
“Imani is faith and faith is so
many things,” Majekobaje said.
“There is so much more that could
have been said.”
Another event in the community
will be Jefferson Middle School’s
presentation of “Go foryour destiny,”
Nov. 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Jefferson’s
auditorium at 1650 W. 22nd Ave.
The event will feature African
drummers, an African fashion
show and a marketplace. Universi
ty law professor Robin Morris
Collin is the keynote speaker.

tivities for different situations.
For those in residential treat
ment, Bolder Options directs a run
ning program. Mentors athletically
train with the youth, and the com
mitment begins in January.
The other route is called the skills
track, which is for those who are
still living at home. The skills them
selves can be within four categories:
Intellectual, the arts, athletics or
outdoor pursuits, Hoder said.
“We ... try to facilitate them
working on skills they showed tal
ent with when they were younger
and then perhaps dropped when
they were older,” she said.
Students can get involved with
the skills track portion of Bolder Op
tions on an ongoing basis, but must
still commit for the entire year.
The fourth program, Lunch Bud
dies, is for at-risk children in grades
four and five. Volunteers meet with
children once a week for an hour,
which is divided into 20-minute
periods during lunch, recess and
classroom time.
