In an increasingly globalized world, leaders must cultivate cultural competency to effectively navigate diverse markets, teams, and partnerships. This keynote explores how cultural curiosity is becoming a crucial leadership asset, driving innovation, empathy, and adaptability. Through concepts in my book IMMIGRIT, attendees will learn the importance of integrating cultural awareness into their leadership approach and practical strategies to develop this skill.

Some key takeaways for the audience will be:

  • Understanding the role of cultural curiosity in enhancing leadership effectiveness and global competitiveness
  • Gain actionable strategies to foster cultural curiosity within themselves and their organizations.
  • Leveraging the Power of Diversity: Learn how to leverage cultural diversity to drive innovation and strengthen team dynamics.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how cultural competency can drive your organization to new heights of success.



During her years of service to Upper Arlington, Ukeme has learned what makes it an exceptional community. She know what works, and she knew what could be better. Change is happening in Central Ohio. We need smart, energetic, intentional, and compassionate leadership to lead us through this change. She was confident that she was the leader the Upper Arlington community deserves.
Beyond her service to Upper Arlington, she is a mother of two, an engineer, a corporate attorney with an MBA, and a former collegiate athlete. She enjoys solving the emerging and complex challenges encountered when bringing new and revolutionary products and services to market. She brings excellence, determination, honesty, and energy to everything she does. She is a trusted advisor to colleagues, business partners, and executives on strategizing and driving innovation. Prior to being an attorney, she was a mechanical engineer, focused on creating efficiencies in projects and processes using design thinking.
Having lived in a range of cities across three countries, she was happy to have chosen Upper Arlington as her forever home. She has found the best way to become part of a community is to invest time in it — get to know the community and understand how to serve it.
Those who know her, know that she never does anything with half my heart. She will draw on her multidimensional experiences, bias toward action, multifaceted approach to problem-solving, solution-oriented creative thinking, and dynamic advocacy to bring fresh perspectives that bridge Upper Arlington’s past with its future — a future that capitalizes on the growth that Central Ohio is poised to experience.
