About us
Our story
Umuada Igbo Michigan and Great Lakes is a community of proud Igbo daughters united by heritage, sisterhood, and service. Rooted in the values of our ancestors, we are committed to preserving and promoting Igbo culture while making a positive impact in our local communities and beyond.
We are more than an organization — we are sisters, mothers, daughters, and leaders bound by love, unity, and the spirit of onye aghala nwanne ya (“let no one leave a sister behind”).

Our Vision
From the spark of an idea to the strength of a united sisterhood, our journey has been nothing short of inspiring. As Umuada Igbo, we came together with one heart — to uplift, to preserve our culture, and to give back to our communities both here in the Great Lakes region and back home in Nigeria.
In just a short time, we’ve:
Umuada Igbo eeee! Eeee!
Anyi bu ofu!
Chukwu bu ike anyi!
Built bonds of sisterhood rooted in our rich Igbo heritage.
Represented with pride at cultural, social, and community events.
Extended love through charity and outreach — from shelters to families in need.
Stood as a voice of unity, reminding ourselves and others that “Anyi bu ofu” – We are one.
The journey continues, and this is only the beginning. With God’s grace, our strength as daughters of Igbo land will keep shining bright.
