Rooted in a Rich Cultural Background

Promoting African Culture in the Diaspora
Living abroad, Ufuoma’s longing for home—expressed in the rich flavors, music, and traditions of Nigeria—ignited her passion for cultural advocacy. Through food festivals, exhibitions, and storytelling, she highlights Africa’s diversity and resilience.
“As Africans, our culture is a celebration of strength and ingenuity,” she says. “From Yoruba talking drums to Igbo masquerades, our traditions tell stories of beauty and creativity.”
Ufuoma aims to bridge gaps by fostering mutual respect between African and non-African communities. By dispelling stereotypes and celebrating the continent’s contributions, she builds spaces for dialogue and unity.

Empowering the Next Generation
As the co-founder of Mariglom Education Foundation, Ufuoma channels her personal experiences into action. Having faced financial struggles in university and seen children in rural areas lack basic resources, she committed herself to bridging the education gap.
Through scholarships, school meal programs, and back-to-school campaigns, Mariglom supports underserved children across Nigeria and African students in the diaspora. “Education is a right, not a privilege,” Ufuoma asserts, emphasizing the foundation’s alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: equitable quality education for all.

A Vision for Africa’s Future
In her ambassadorial role and as an African Union youth member, Ufuoma’s “Make Africa Work” initiative fosters collaboration and opportunity for young Africans. By equipping youth with education and entrepreneurial skills, she aims to inspire future leaders to contribute to Africa’s development.
Her long-term goals include creating global networks for African youth and advancing vocational training to close education gaps. “My vision is to leave a legacy of empowerment and progress,” she says, “one where future generations thrive and shape a brighter Africa.”

Call to Action
For individuals in the diaspora, Ufuoma encourages involvement in cultural advocacy and education initiatives. “Whether through donations, volunteering, or celebrating African culture, every effort counts,” she says.
From supporting scholarships to participating in community events, Ufuoma invites others to join her mission of uplifting African heritage and empowering the next generation.
In Ufuoma’s words: “Together, we can celebrate Africa’s legacy, preserve its richness, and ensure its future shines brighter than ever.”
