Ajuongnäär Women & Role Model Girls Launch Uniforms | 19–20 April 2025 | Rochester, MN | Ajakguong

On 19–20 April 2025, the Ajuongnäär community made history by hosting its first-ever cultural event in the United States—a vibrant celebration held at the Empire Event Centre (Best Western), 1517 16th Street SW, in Rochester, Minnesota. The two-day occasion brought together members of the Ajuongnäär community, brothers and sisters from Twic East, Bor County, and friends from across the USA.

This historic gathering honoured our shared heritage and cultural identity through traditional dances, oral storytelling, and the official launch of the Ajuongnäär Women’s and Role Model Girls’ uniforms—a proud symbol of dignity, unity, and leadership among South Sudanese women in the diaspora.

🎥 Captured by Ajakguong Media, this video showcases the elegance, pride, and cultural adoration of Ajuongnäär women and young girls as they take the stage in their beautifully crafted uniforms for the very first time. You’ll witness the music, the movement, and the memories that brought a community together in a foreign land—but with hearts deeply rooted in home.

This remarkable event was made possible by visionary community leaders:

Geu Nyingut, President of the Ajuong Community

Adut Deng Kuir, Chairwoman of Ajuong Women

Atong Maketh-Alier Arok, Chairlady of the Role Model Girls

Their dedication and leadership turned a dream into reality. The day was not just an event—it was a statement of identity and pride, a moment of unity and cultural celebration.
