The Race to Be Myself by Caster Semenya
The Race to Be Myself by Caster Semenya
A landmark memoir from one of South Africa's most celebrated athletes. Olympic champion Caster Semenya tells her extraordinary story — from growing up in Limpopo to becoming a global icon in athletics. 'This is my story, told in my own words.' With honesty and courage, she recounts her victories on the track, the battles she faced off it, and her determination to live authentically while challenging prejudice and injustice. Themes of identity, resilience, and justice make this memoir both inspiring and deeply moving. A powerful South African narrative that blends sport, culture, and human rights.
Gaining traction for its raw honesty and inspirational message. Recommended for fans of Trevor Noah's Born a Crime and Siya Kolisi's Rise. Often paired with memoirs of athletes who've challenged systems and redefined what it means to compete.
