Princess Sarah Culberson

<ul><li><strong>Princess Found: You Are More Than Your Title</strong></li><li>Raised in West Virginia by her adoptive parents, Sarah Culberson had little knowledge of her ancestry. She grew up in a loving, white household, but she had questions about her identity and biracial roots that led her to hire a private investigator. When she began her unforgettable journey to find her family, she never imagined what she would discover or how it would change her life: she was related to African royalty, and she was a princess.</li><li>Princess Sarah takes an audience on her journey from princess to humanitarian. Central to her message is the idea that everyone has to take responsibility for and earn their title, whether it’s that of being a mother, a company leader, or a new team hire. The title alone is not enough to confer respect or success, and Sarah’s presentation inspires audiences to focus on the core values leaders and teams can use personally and professionally to:<ul><li>Build a diverse and inclusive community and culture</li><li>Empower others</li><li>Overcome fears and pursue excellence</li></ul></li><li>From dancer and actor to princess, humanitarian, to being an educator, Princess Sarah uses warmth and humor in her keynote presentations to provide a unique experience filled with stories, vivid multimedia presentations and above all, a spirit of kindness and inclusiveness. Attendees will be inspired to undertake their own journey of self-discovery and transformation and to elevate their personal goals to include the empowerment of others.</li><li><strong>Fear to Fabulous: Overcoming Your Fears & Taking On Dreams</strong></li><li>In this presentation, Sarah Culberson explores how she achieved her dream of connecting with her biological family: an experience that changed the trajectory of her life for the better. She began her journey faced with the fear of rejection but stepped into a fabulous world where she met her family, connected with her tribe, and accepted the responsibility of empowering others and sharing their stories. Discovering her heritage revealed a new purpose where she actively works alongside community leaders to promote various infrastructure, public health, and female empowerment initiatives throughout Sierra Leone. As a speaker she is a passionate advocate for embracing even the worst and scariest parts of your journey and for persistence and courage in pursuit of your dreams.</li><li><strong>Diversity and Inclusion Program: Take Action and Transform!</strong></li><li>Princess Sarah’s program is more than an inspiring story of discovering her roots of becoming a princess.

Along with real personal examples, Sarah provides actionable takeaways based on the needs of the organization. </li><li><strong>Better Together: How To Build a Culture of Belonging</strong></li><li>The landscape of leadership and organizations has changed. Whether in a corporate or nonprofit setting, team members want a sense of community and belonging. However, building this kind of culture doesn&#39;t happen on its own, it requires action. Princess Sarah’s keynote is for groups who are serious about recognizing differences and taking on people challenges to solve and innovate.
