Chantal Biya ({{née|Chantal Pulchérie Vigouroux}}, born December 4, 1969) is the First Lady of Cameroon.

Biography

Early life

Chantal Biya was born in Dimako, East Province, Cameroon.[1] Her father was French expatriate Georges Vigouroux and her mother, Miss Doumé pageant winner Rosette Ndongo Mengolo. Her mother was elected Mayor of Bangou following the July 2007 municipal elections.[2]

She spent her adolescence in Yaoundé.[3]

Personal life

She married 37-years older President Paul Biya on 23 April 1994, after his first wife, Jeanne-Irène Biya, died in 1992.[4][5]

She is well known for her hairstyles.[5][6] Her signature style is called the banane, and is used for formal occasions.[7] Biya has popularised other styles; collectively, they are known as the Chantal Biya.[8] She is also known because of her exotic wardrobe. Among her favourite designers are high-end Western labels such as Chanel and Dior.[5]

Philanthropy

She established the {{lang|fr|Fondation Chantal Biya}} in 1994,[9] and hosted the inaugural First Ladies Summit in Yaoundé in 1996;[10] the Jeunesse active pour Chantal Biya is an organ of her husband's Cameroon People's Democratic Movement.[11]

Bertrand Teyou

In November 2010, Bertrand Teyou published a book titled {{lang|fr|La belle de la république bananière{{nbsp}}: Chantal{{nbsp}}Biya, de la rue au palais}} (English: "The belle of the banana republic: Chantal{{nbsp}}Biya, from the streets to the palace"),[12] tracing Biya's rise from humble origins to become First Lady.[5][13] He was subsequently given a two-year prison term on charges of "insult to character" and organising an "illegal demonstration" for attempting to hold a public reading.[5][13] Amnesty International and PEN International’s Writers in Prison Committee both protested his arrest and issued appeals on his behalf; Amnesty International also named him a prisoner of conscience.[13][14] He was freed in April 2011 when a well wisher agreed to pay his fine in order that he might seek treatment for his worsening health.[15]
