Hey y’all! I’m Michelle Fokam, a professional triple and long jumper proudly representing Team Cameroon. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to compete on some of the biggest stages in athletics, from the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials to the 2024 African Championships, and as a four-time All American, placing 3rd at the NCAA Championships in 2021. Competing for Cameroon has allowed me to connect deeply with my roots and represent my heritage on a global stage.
But my story goes far beyond the sandpit. I’m passionate about using my journey to make an impact through education, youth empowerment, and community connection. Outside of training and competition, I’ve continued to pour into my community by hosting events and speaking engagements that spark meaningful dialogue, including a Fireside Chat on Healthy Relationships for student athletes and a community address at the Abi Cup Annual Soccer Match. These experiences have allowed me to connect with people on a deeper level, share lessons from my own journey, and encourage others to embrace growth in all areas of life.

Our Story
As a proud Rice University alumna, where I majored in psychology and earned the C-USA Spirit of Service Award twice, I’ve always believed that athletics can be a vehicle for change. My mission is to honor Cameroon through excellence, empower others to reach their potential, and create lasting opportunities through sports, education, and mentorship. As I continue developing new projects and initiatives that expand this mission, I hope to inspire others to dream boldly and invest in the communities that shaped them.
