EXSSA-USA boasts a distinct and dynamic group of ladies with varied talents, diverse cultures, experiences and backgrounds. While a majority of Sakerettes hail from Cameroon in Central/West Africa, some of our members are nationals of Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, the United States, Great Britain, and France. This diversity does not only enrich our organization, but also gives us leverage to synergize our unique in-house talents in the collaborative pursuit of a common goal, which is to enrich and empower each other on an individual level, our communities in the Diaspora, our communities abroad, and our alma mater, Saker Baptist College.
