This article analyzes the interplay between Ubuntu's philosophy: “I am, because we are; and because we are, therefore I am” with the expression “We are all in this together,” which resounded mostly in North America and Europe during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This article argues that the expression “We are all in this together” directly or indirectly adopted Ubuntu's philosophy of relational solidarity in handling and navigating the COVID‐19 pandemic. The expression implicitly acknowledges that pandemics can be mitigated through collaboration, shared responsibility, and relational solidarity
