À propos de ce contenu audio

 This "moving, deeply human" memoir tells the inspiring story of the first openly transgender woman to win a NCAA title, following the obstacles she overcame to achieve her Olympic dreams (The Cut).

CeCé Telfer is a warrior. She has contended with transphobia on and off the track since childhood. Now, she stands at the crossroads of a national and international conversation about equity in sports, forced to advocate for her personhood and rights at every turn. After spending years training for the 2024 Olympics, Telfer has been sidelined and silenced more times than she can count. But she's never been good at taking no for an answer.

Make It Count is Telfer's raw and inspiring story. From coming of age in Jamaica, where she grew up hearing a constant barrage of slurs, to living in the backseat of her car while searching for a coach, to Mexico, where she trained for the US Trials, this book follows the arc of Telfer's Olympic dream. This is the story of running on what feels like the edge of a knife, of what it means to compete when you're treated not just as an athlete, but as a walking controversy. But it's also the story of resilience and athleticism, of a runner who found a clarity in her sport that otherwise eluded her—a sense of simply being alive, a human moving through space—finally, herself.

    “As a mentor and friend to CeCé Telfer, witnessing her journey chronicled in her memoir is both humbling and awe-inspiring. Through her groundbreaking achievements and unwavering courage, CeCé is not just changing the world of sports; she's rewriting the narrative for all athletes, proving that authenticity and determination know no bounds.”—Chris Mosier, Team USA Athlete & Activist
    “Though I've known CeCé since 2020—as a fan, competitor, and friend—reading MAKE IT COUNT allowed me to understand her story in a way that I never have before. She shares her triumphs, her struggles with the family she was born into, and how hard she worked to find a new family. It turns out that CeCé is like so many of us—she's a woman fighting for her happiness, for her place. I'm honored to know her, to know her story, and support her in her fight.”—Anna Cockrell, Olympic Sprinter and Hurdler
    “Make It Count is a powerful statement of Telfer's unwavering spirit and unyielding dedication and serves as a beacon of inspiration for women, athletes, and humans alike. Her indomitable will to succeed against all odds illuminates the path for others who dare to dream beyond societal confines. Through her words, Telfer reminds us that greatness knows no boundaries and that every obstacle can be transformed into a hurdle to leap past and propel us forward.” —R.K. Russell, NFL Player, Trailblazer, Advocate, and Author of The Yards Between Us
    "In this intimate glimpse into her life and career, the author candidly shares her story of perseverance to overcome the hateful backlash from her path toward the Olympics, where eligibility rules prevented her from competing in the women’s 400-meter hurdles. . . An inspirational portrait of trailblazing sports excellence."—Kirkus Reviews
