Author Sarah Culberson delights UA on Global Celebration Day

Ms. Culberson speaking in the UCPA
What an awesome Global Celebration Day we enjoyed on Wednesday! There were so many excellent speakers and sessions and performances! One truly spectacular highlight was listening to Sarah Culberson, the vibrant and dynamic author of A Princess Found . Ms. Culberson shared her story of identity and discovery in two energized speaker sessions with all Ursuline students. Students were fascinated by her life story of being adopted and raised in West Virginia, only to discover, years later, that she was an African princess with family in Sierra Leone.

Ms. Culberson was a gracious and sincere guest who seemed to enjoy talking to our UA students as much as they enjoyed chatting with her. We got to know Ms. Culberson even more during her book signing in the library (sorry about running out of books - more are on the way!) and then we all danced together at the Spirit of Uganda performance.

Ms. Culberson, we thank you so much for coming to Ursuline and brightening all of our lives with your story! We wish you all the best with the work that you are doing in Sierra Leone through your foundation, the Kposowa Foundation.
