The landscape of leadership and organizations have changed. Whether in a corporate
or volunteer setting, team members and clients want a sense of community. However,
this doesn’t happen on its own, rather it’s based on action. Princess Sarah’s keynote is
for groups who are serious about taking on people challenges to build a culture of
success.
Princess Sarah uses her personal experience as an adopted child growing up in a bi-
racial family, as well as understanding a whole new culture when she discovered that
she was a real-life princess in Sierra Leone. In addition to this inspiring journey, she
draws from her business side as an entrepreneur (in entertainment and gaming). ...less

Raised in West Virginia by her adopted 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 in 2004. 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. Her
biological grandfather is the Paramount Chief of a village in Sierra Leone, West Africa
and Sarah is considered a Mahaloi, with the status of a princess.
Princess Sarah takes an audience on her journey from princess to humanitarian. She
shares that everyone has to earn their title, whether it’s that of being a mother, a
company leader, or new team hires. The title alone does not give a person success.
Sarah’s talk focuses on core values that attendees can use both personally and
professionally. From a dancer to princess, to humanitarian (where she co-founded a non profit, Sierra
Leone Rising, to support rebuilding education, public health, and female empowerment),
to being an educator (as director of Outreach at the Oakwood School in LA), Princess
Sarah uses warmth and humor in her keynote to provide a unique experience filled with
stories, images, art, and above all, kindness.
The result of her keynote is a challenge, to all attendees, to make their own discovery of
self identity and transformation. ...less

In ‘Fear to Fabulous’ 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 supporting those with low visibility. Discovering her heritage revealed a
new purpose where she actively works alongside community leaders in order to
promote various infrastructure, public health, and female empowerment initiatives
throughout Sierra Leone. With both a BFA and MFA in theater, Sarah mastered public
speaking and acts as an advocate to campaign for diversity, equity, and self-discovery.
Sarah inspires others with her experience of how she embraced the unknown and
ventured into a wonderful world where she found what she is meant to do in her lifetime. ...less
