Rooted in compassion and community care, the Nigerian Women Association Colorado emerged from a profound moment of solidarity in 1988 when Nigerian women came together to support one of their own during a family tragedy. This founding spirit of mutual aid inspired Mrs. Ngozi Onyeali, known affectionately as Lady Dee, to establish a formal organization that would serve as both a safety net and a celebration of Nigerian womanhood. Based in Aurora, Colorado, the association has grown into a meaningful community resource where women can find understanding, connection, and cultural belonging. The organization's mission centers on creating a space where Nigerian women and their families can maintain their heritage while navigating life in America. Through regular gatherings, cultural events, and peer support networks, members share the joys and challenges of balancing family responsibilities, professional aspirations, and cultural identity. The Nigerian Women Association Colorado stands as a testament to the power of women supporting women—a place where traditions are preserved, friendships are forged, and every member knows she has a community ready to stand beside her through life's journey.
