Boundless By Chaunté Lowe
LOWE
THE ODDS SEEMED STACKED AGAINST CHAUNTÉ LOWE. Growing up impoverished with a single mother in Paso Robles, California, where she experienced food insecurity, homelessness, and domestic abuse, Chaunté could not imagine a future that offered a different sort of life. But then one day she turned on the TV and there was Flo Jo, competing in the Olympics and shattering records in track and field. Immediately, Chaunté knew what she wanted to do. She started running. With the help of a small community of friends, family, teachers, and coaches, Chaunté worked as hard as she could—both in the classroom and out on the sports field—and through her own fierce determination and grit, she overcame every imaginable obstacle, eventually propelling herself to the place she always dreamed about: the Olympic medal podium. Boundless is a story that will move anyone who’s ever had a big dream, ever dared to hope for a better future, and ever believed that nothing is impossible. In her own words, Chaunté presents her remarkable and inspiring story of loss and survival, perseverance and hope.
Get inspired by world champion high jumper Chaunté Lowe and her remarkable journey from a childhood full of big dreams and devastating hurdles to becoming a bronze medal– winning U.S. Olympian!

I didn’t know when my time would come, but I knew that when it did, I would be ready.
