Her leadership and cultural diplomacy earned her royal titles: she was enstooled as Queenmother of Development in Ghana and installed as an Igbo Chief by traditional rulers in Imo State, Nigeria. These honours speak volumes—not just symbols, but affirmations of her committed, grassroots advocacy across continents.
My journey toward embracing my African lineage changed my life, liberated me mentally, and gave me purpose. … But once I learned the truth about Africa, I developed self‑pride and began to educate others about Africa’s diversity and its impact on the world.

Her story continues to inspire artists, governments, and organizations worldwide—showing that when culture is at the center, change is not just possible, it’s inevitable.
