Since its founding in 2019, Ohemmaa Palace Foundation (OHP) has empowered women and young leaders through mentorship, service, and sisterhood. Our collegiate chapters, established at Virginia Commonwealth University and Old Dominion University, have created spaces for women to connect, grow, and serve their communities. Through leadership development and intentional programs, OHP has helped equip members with the skills and confidence to step into their roles as changemakers.

OHP’s impact extends beyond the college campus. We have organized clothing drives, food distributions, and community dinners to meet local needs, while also supporting shelters, hospitals, and schools through outreach initiatives. Partnerships with organizations like Fashion for Missions, Read 2 Lead International, and Hilda Barg Homeless Shelter have allowed us to amplify our efforts, bringing resources and hope to underserved communities. In Ghana, our global outreach has included supporting the Osu Children’s Home and educating women on sustainable health practices.

Alongside community service, OHP has hosted unique events and platforms to highlight women’s voices and creativity. From the Adopt a Box dinner on sustainability in fashion to panel discussions, fundraisers, and mentoring programs, our work reflects both innovation and purpose. Each initiative reinforces our belief that in every woman, there is a queen (#iewtiaq), and through service, collaboration, and leadership, Ohemmaa Palace Foundation continues to crown women with opportunities to lead and uplift others.
