Adopted girl discovers that she is a princess in Sierra Leone; like a fairy tale

The magical and incredible stories that we get to see on the big screen can become reality. At least that’s the case with Sarah Culberson, who discovered that she is the heir to the throne in Sierra Leone.

Like a whole Mia in The princess’s Diary, Sarah lived a normal childhood and adolescence alongside her adoptive family until at the age of 28 she began to search a little about the origin of her parents and discovered that she was part of the African royalty.

It is part of an important tribe in Africa

After learning that her biological mother had died when she was only 11 years old, Sarah received a call from one of her uncles, telling her that she was part of the Mende tribe in Sierra Leone and that she was considered a thank you, the daughter of the chief of the tribe.

Hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the meeting between Sarah and her biological father, where she was officially awarded the title as princess and heir to the throne of Bumpe.

Her adoptive father has always supported her

She was a lovely girl since we adopted her and she is still just as outgoing, a woman who loves and enjoys meeting different people. From her first visit to Sierra Leone to meet her father, she understood that her role as a princess meant finding a way to help others. Sarah knew how to recognize her connection to family, the position as princess and the country she must serve.

Together with her biological brother, Hindo Kposowa, Sarah created the foundation Sierra Leone Rising to build Bumpe High School and make education in the country grow. In addition, it managed to build nine dams that carry clean water to more than 12 thousand people.
