Ubuntu, pronounced “oo-BOON-too”, is an African word roughly translated to mean, “I am what I am because of who we all are.” Ubuntu symbolizes our shared humanity, and our connection to others. It remarks on how we all have our stories to tell, and how our stories are profoundly interconnected.
Ubuntu Journal is a place where writers, visual artists, poets, and photographers can share their ideas, insights, and themselves through posts that might include essays, short stories, poems, drawings, paintings, photos, or just stray thoughts on the creative process. It aspires to be a community, an entertainment, an outlet, and a source of literary and artistic accomplishments designed to make you laugh, cry, and think.

“…The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season.”
- Heraklietos of Ephesos
