USA’s Twanisha “TeeTee” Terry is proving she’s more than just fast on the track — she’s also racing ahead in the world of children’s literature.
Fresh off her third 4x100m world championship gold medal at the recent World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, the sprint star has returned home to an outpouring of love — not just for her blistering speed, but also for her blossoming side career as a children’s book author.
In a heartfelt post on social media platform X, TeeTee shared the incredible response her books have received:
“BUSINESS IS BOOMING OK. We at 55 orders now and one order was out of the country. I had to order more books because I ran out. SO THANKFUL. ❤️❤️❤️”
Her fans — both young and old — are rallying behind her off-track endeavors, flooding her with book orders following her golden moment in Tokyo. The success of her books has left the sprinter with a new kind of challenge this off-season: signing copies for her growing fanbase.
TeeTee’s passion for inspiring the next generation through storytelling has clearly resonated, and she’s receiving support from within the athletics community as well. Fellow sprinter and teammate Melissa Jefferson-Wooden showed her support by retweeting TeeTee’s post — a clear sign that the sisterhood of sprinting is cheering her on beyond the baton.
With her infectious energy, champion’s spirit, and a new author title under her belt, Twanisha Terry is carving out a legacy that stretches far beyond the finish line.
From gold medals to bedtime stories — TeeTee Terry is running the race her way, and winning hearts along the journey.
