Ẹ kú àbọ̀! (Welcome!). On behalf of the Executive Council and the entire membership of the United Yoruba of Tulsa (UYOT), it is my great honor and privilege to welcome you to our official website.
Whether you are a member of our association, a fellow son or daughter of Yorubaland, or simply someone interested in learning about our culture and community, we are delighted that you are here.
UYOT is more than an organization, we are a family. It is a place where we preserve the rich traditions, language, and values that define us as Yoruba people while embracing the opportunities and responsibilities of living in the United States. We believe that our greatest strength lies in our unity, our diversity of talents, and our collective commitment to uplifting one another and serving our community.
As President, my vision is to build an association where every member feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to contribute. Together, we will continue to celebrate our heritage, invest in our youth, support families in times of need, promote educational and cultural initiatives, and foster meaningful partnerships that positively impact both our members and the wider Tulsa community.
I also wish to express my deepest appreciation to our founding members and past leaders. Their sacrifice, vision, and unwavering commitment laid the foundation upon which we proudly stand today. We are grateful for their legacy and remain committed to building upon it with integrity, transparency, accountability, and service.
If you are not yet a member, I warmly invite you to join us. Whether through membership, volunteering, sponsorship, or partnership, there is a place for you in the UYOT family. Together, we can preserve our heritage, strengthen our community, and inspire future generations of Yoruba sons and daughters.
Thank you for visiting our website. I encourage you to explore our programs, upcoming events, and initiatives, and to connect with us as we continue to promote the values of Ìfẹ́ (Love), Ìṣọ̀kan (Unity), Ìwà Pẹ̀lẹ́ (Good Character), and Ìṣẹ́ (Service).
May God bless you, bless the United Yoruba of Tulsa, and bless Yorubaland. Àṣẹ.
Warm regards,
Ògbéni Akeem Odutayo, Esq.
President (Ààrẹ)
United Yoruba of Tulsa (UYOT)
