Who We Are
United Cultural Alliance is an organization that unifies the common interests of seven of the most popular Nigerian associations in Minnesota. These associations include the Anambra Association of Minnesota, Anioma Cultural Association of Minnesota, Emii Progressive Association., Igbo Women League of Minnesota, Imo Progressives Association of Minnesota, Umunne Cultural Association in Minnesota,and Wawa United of Minnesota.
These interests are rooted in their strong ties to their customs, culture, and traditions and their unreserved desire to share and integrate themselves into the traditions and cultures of their host communities, thereby promoting diversity, social understanding, integration and tolerance, and community development. We promote cultural awareness and exchange through the activities of our member organizations. These include Igbofest, Mother’s Day celebrations, and Remembrance Day of the member organizations like Anambra Day, Wawa Day, and IPAM Day.
Bridging cultures across communities promotes development and awareness and connect different individuals with different backgrounds. Our organization is an avenue for fostering cultural education and creative expression for various individuals. Through our cultural programs, we aim to share the cultural richness of our society. We believe that culture plays an integral role in our identity and embodies our values, perspectives, and principles. It’s part of who we are. That’s why we celebrate the uniqueness and colors of various cultures across communities.
