Our History
Universal First Ladies
Founded in 2022 by Rikiat White, inspired by her father Nji Lietmbouo Lamare Amadou “The Pacific”, and his thought that The smallest action is better than the greatest intention! Rikiat White, along with her sisters Aicha Monde, Adija Chou, and Habiba Samba Lamare, aimed to materialize this legacy using the principles of respect, accountability, and solidarity. Joined in this mission by Cherry Diop, they have brought together women from around the world to play a crucial role in driving social change through the Non-Profit organization named Universal First Ladies Inc.
We are committed to providing accurate information about our mission, finances, governance, and activities, upholding the highest standards of honesty and legal compliance.
