International business magnate Eme Udoetuk hosted a dazzling celebration to honor the academic achievements of her three younger sisters at the Chicago Cultural Center. The event, now known as The Grad Gala, highlighted the milestones of Christie, Stella, and Marian Udoetuk.
Christie earned a B.S. in Finance from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Stella completed her M.D. and M.P.H. at Southern Illinois School of Medicine. Marian received her J.D. from Loyola University Chicago.
The gala was hosted by Nollywood star Kunle Remi and featured surprise performances by Afrobeat stars Tiwa Savage and Adekunle Gold, thrilling guests throughout the night.
Eme Udoetuk gave each sister a luxury SUV—two Range Rovers and a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon—as well as keys to their own high-rise condos in downtown Chicago. These gifts reflected her dedication to supporting her sisters’ success beyond academics.
In a heartfelt toast, Eme said, “Watching you grow and succeed has been the greatest honor of my life. This is not just a graduation; it’s a crowning moment for three future leaders.”
The event attracted notable guests such as music executive Soso Soberekon and actress Uche Jombo, adding star power to the celebration.
The Grad Gala was more than a family gathering; it was a showcase of excellence, unity, and empowerment for the Udoetuk sisters and their community.
