WORLD-RENOWNED athlete Caster Semenya will finally tell her story in her upcoming memoir.

She announced details about the book on Thursday, 1 June, on her social media platforms.

The excited athlete said the book, titled The Race to Be Myself, will be published on 31 October 2023, adding that it will not only be released in Mzansi but the UK and the US as well.

The 32-year-old runner said she will tell her truth in the book.

"I am happy to announce that my memoir, The Race to Be Myself, will be published on 31 October  2023. It will be released simultaneously in the US, UK and in Mzansi. I hope I can finally speak my truth," Caster said. 

She said the book is an offering to the people and she hopes it will inspire them.

"I will inspire others to be brave, not to be afraid, and above all to love and accept themselves as they are. This is my offer to you. You can pre-order my book today from your favourite booksellers in the US, UK and SA will be announced soon," she said.

The three-time world 800m champion and two-time Olympic champion in the women's 800m has faced plenty of public backlash for years.

People have been critical of her and questioned her femininity because of her unusually high testosterone levels. But Caster has risen above the hate and continues to do what she does best.

Caster and her wife Violet Raseboya had their second daughter last year after having their first daughter in 2019. They also just celebrated their six-year marriage anniversary.
