About Us

Our Story—History of BCNA

Berom Community North America represents the citizens of the Berom nation residing in North America who are striving to advance the traditional values of love, peace, respect, unity, selflessness, tolerance, innovation, and industry which have been passed on to us by our foremothers and forefathers. We endeavor to collaborate with those who are passionate about sharing these principles. It is our goal to form a fellowship with these individuals, serving and promoting the welfare of our brothers and sisters in the homeland, as well as those in our host communities in the diaspora. This is how our organization was established through the initial thoughts and dreams of Dr. (Rev.) Da Nash Pwol in the early to Mid-90s. This was followed by the great efforts of our first formal acting leader Dr. (Rev.) Da Benjamin C. Datiri until our now 2018 under the leadership of Ngo (Mrs.) Felicia Chomo Sodipe. Both Da Nash Pwol and Da Datiri are still actively involved as elder statesmen.
