ABOUT KETURAH

3x Olympian Keturah Orji ("KO") is quickly becoming one of the world's rising stars in track and field. Known for opening a new era of greatness in the American triple jump, KO is also an admirable advocate for equality and expanding access to opportunities for women of color.

The first American since 1974 to win six consecutive U.S. titles in the outdoor triple jump, KO finished fourth at the 2016 Olympic Games.  At the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, she became the first American woman in history to qualify for three consecutive Olympic finals in the triple jump.


Even with her monumental achievements, there is one thing more important to KO than gold medal glory. "I want my career to signify that you do not have to possess a certain personality, come from a certain background, or look a specific way to accomplish great things."

 

To fulfill her mission, KO founded a mentorship program for girls called Amara's Pride. KO created Amara's Pride to give young girls access to successful women they can relate to, so they can envision themselves succeeding as well. 

 

Today, KO lives in Atlanta, GA and is available for speaking opportunities all over the world.
