The Igbo Women’s Cultural Association of Greater Richmond educates our community about our heritage, supports one another through every season of life, and gives back — here in Richmond and back home in Nigeria.
“Educate the community about the Igbo culture and support one another — empowering Igbo women of Richmond to reach their greatest potential while promoting the Igbo culture.”
We are Igbo women — by birth, legal adoption, or marriage — who gather every other month to celebrate where we come from and to show up for each other, in Richmond and beyond.

Our members know the city well — from where to find Nigerian and West African groceries and restaurants, to hair and beauty shops — and we’d love to connect you with a ready-made community of Igbo and Nigerian women who’ve been right where you are.
