Umu Igbo Unite Corporation

Umu Igbo Unite (UIU) is a cultural promotion group dedicated to exporting the norms, values and traditions of Igbos. We are the foremost network of Igbo Americans. UIU is inspired by the power of unity in a foreign land. As cultural exchange advocates, we witness the power of diversity and unity of Umu Igbo.

We celebrate individuality, embrace differences and enable learning opportunities by creating safe harbors in which people can come together for mutual understanding and benefit.

Umu Igbo Unite was founded in 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia by the D.I. Anadu and J.C. Okpukpara families. The motivation behind UIU’s birth was to address the lack of a structured network that catered to the specific cultural, professional, and social needs of a first-generation Igbo Americans and the greater Diaspora. Since its inception, UIU has grown to over 5,000 members nationwide with 14 active chapters: Atlanta, Austin, Bay Area, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, DMV (Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia), Houston, Los Angeles, New England, North Carolina, Tri-State (NY, NJ, CT), Wisconsin and Toronto, Canada.
