I'M THAT GIRL Living the Power of My Dreams

Angel Pean narrates Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles's memoir with the right emotional tone and clear enunciation while getting across the frustration endured by the young, Black gymnast. Pean's tone captures the challenges faced by Chiles: systemic racism, a dysfunctional and overbearing coach, and the incredible incident of the Bronze medal being stripped from her. Pean's voice rises with anger for what Chiles dealt with, especially the injustices inflicted by the coach. Pean knows when to ratchet up emotion, so it comes off as appropriate for the moment. This audiobook provides a glimpse of what some young gymnasts go through. M.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2025]
