Movement as liberation

Hi, I’m Oumou, and I'm passionate about sports, social justice, and capturing the world through visual images. My journey in sports began with my love for running then triathlons—I'm dedicated to training, which fuels my appetite for challenges and commitment to mental health and well-being. I hold a degree in Art & Design, with a focus on photography, and I’ve decided to channel this expertise and my experiences into a cause I deeply care about: inclusivity and empowerment in sports.

As the creator and host of the Sports Intersection Project, I explore the rich, intersectional world of sports, history, and social justice. This project is my way of examining how diverse identities engage with sports and how it can be a powerful tool for promoting inclusivity and breaking down barriers. I’m committed to shedding light on the inequalities faced by marginalized groups in the sporting world, from access to facilities and financing to international competition hurdles.

In each video, I dive deep into these topics, sharing stories of resilience and triumph, and advocating for a world where sports are truly for everyone. Whether it’s highlighting the achievements of trailblazing athletes or addressing critical issues like discrimination and accessibility, my goal is to use my platform to inspire and educate.

Despite wearing many hats, from triathlete to photographer/director to advocate, my work is united by a single mission: to use my skills and passions to drive meaningful change and create a more inclusive world of sports. If you're looking for someone who combines creativity, dedication, and a deep understanding of social justice in sports, let's connect and see how we can collaborate.
