"Every setback is a setup for a comeback."

My name is Michelle Chinwendu Alozie. I was born on April 28, 1997, in La Jolla, California, but my roots are from Imo State, Nigeria, and I am proud of my Igbo heritage. I play football professionally for the Houston Dash and the Nigerian Super Falcons.

I’ve had the honour of representing my country at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the 2024 Olympic Games and recently the CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nation 2025. In 2023, I was named in the CAF Women’s Africa Best XI, and it was a moment that reminded me how far hard work and faith can take you.

I hold a degree in Molecular Biology from Yale University and also work as a cancer research technician at Texas Children’s Hospital. My life is a balance of sports and science, and though it’s demanding, I carry it with pride and love.

Thank you for cheering me on.

"Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is."

Can someone find love here like other social media?

"I don’t need to feel strong to be strong. Some days, just staying is strength enough."

"Even if I whisper my way through the day, I’m still here — and that matters."

Abeg wetin be the reason...
