Ada Anagho Brown is the President and founder of Roots to Glory Tours, an organization she launched in 2012 to reconnect African descendants in the Diaspora with their ancestral homeland. A native of Cameroon and the daughter of the current Chief of Ngwo in the Njikwa subdivision, Brown has drawn on her deep cultural heritage to guide hundreds of African Americans on transformative journeys across the African continent.
She is also the founder of the Muloma Heritage Center in South Carolina, a cultural hub working at the crossroads of culture, cuisine, sustainability, agriculture, and ecology. The Center is dedicated to preserving African traditions, promoting environmental awareness, and helping individuals rediscover their ancestral roots through immersive, community-based learning.
Brown’s work has been featured in Smithsonian Magazine, The Washington Post, and The Washington Informer. She has served on the Advisory Committee of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art and the Montgomery County African Affairs Advisory Group, and was the lead organizer of the Panafest USA cultural festival in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Through Roots to Glory and the Muloma Heritage Center, she continues to build bridges between Africa and the Diaspora—curating culinary heritage tours with James Beard Award-winning historian Michael Twitty and organizing reconciliation efforts with African traditional leaders such as His Majesty King Tofa IX of Porto Novo, Benin. Brown’s mission is to preserve culture, promote identity, and inspire unity through education, travel, and authentic connection.
