Book
I'm that girl : living the power of my dreams / Jordan Chiles with Felice Laverne ; foreword by Simone Biles.
"Jordan Chiles digs deep, sharing the story of her life's challenges -- the racism she encountered as a gifted Black girl in a predominantly white elite sport, the battles with body image and subsequent unhealthy relationship with food, the grueling practices, the injuries, the moments of nearly calling it quits. Through it all, Jordan refused to give up. Through sheer grit -- and the love of her family -- she kept working and winning. When Simone Biles stepped away from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after a case of the "twisties," Jordan stepped in to play a key role in securing silver for Team USA. And in Paris, Jordan made history as part of the first all-Black podium in all of men's and women's gymnastics." -- Provided by publisher.
