Power With Purpose

Zania Socka-Nguemen is a versatile 6'3" forward at Indiana University, known for her rebounding, interior scoring, and developing perimeter game. A rising force in college basketball, she’s intent on elevating her play, growing her brand, and positioning herself as a future first-round WNBA Draft pick—bolstered by her rare ability to dunk.

Calm and disciplined, Zania centers herself with music, prayer, and a locked-in game plan. Driven by family and inspired by her mother’s influence, she’s dedicated to giving back through the JayZa Foundation and empowering young girls in sports. Off the court, she values time with loved ones, enjoys relaxing with music, and stays committed to making an impact beyond the game.
