Jordan Chiles reflects on the empowering message behind her journey in her memoir
Jordan Chiles released her memoir, 'I'm That Girl: Living the Power of My Dreams' on March 4, 2025. The book details her journey as a black athlete and her life challenges. During her interview with WNBA legend Candace Parker on March 19, 2025, Chiles expressed her thoughts on the empowering message behind her memoir. She said (via the Bleacher report 11:38 onwards):
"I'm that girl just means I can look myself in the mirror and be like, okay, I've gone through a lot of stuff in my life, I've gone through trauma. I was verbally and emotionally abused by my coach. I was doing all these things but yet those things only made me stronger."
She continued:
"So really, it's to show everybody that no matter what you go through and what you have to sacrifice, you're going to be able to come out of that and be stronger than what you thought and I'm just happy that now my story is out."
Chiles is a six-time medalist from the World Championships and the Pan American Games.
