About
Bonnie St. John
Bonnie St. John is an author, inspirational speaker, executive
coach, TV personality, mother, and seeker of wisdom. She knows
what it is like to be down, to struggle financially, to have big
emotional challenges, and to grow spiritually in order to overcome
them. She also knows what it is like to be on top of the world:
Bonnie was the first African-American to win Olympic medals in ski
racing, winning a silver and two bronze medals. She graduated with
honors from Harvard University and won a Rhodes Scholarship to
Oxford; she was appointed to the White House National Economic
Council; she has been featured on The Today Show, Montel Williams,
CNN, Good Morning America, as well as People magazine, the New
York Times, Essence and many others; she has been critically
acclaimed as an author; and she is one of the most highly sought
after keynote speakers in the country.
"If a one-legged,
African-American girl from San Diego with no money and no snow can
go to the Olympics as a ski racer..." people think to themselves,
"surely I can follow my dream and find the joy in my life."
Although the story of Bonnie's
achievements has been told on TV and in print many times, her most
recent book, How Strong Women Pray, shares her life story
in a more raw and personal way. Bonnie's experience of bouncing
back from adversity has taught her that there is no "magic bullet"
that solves all problems with the snap of a finger. No one diet
works for all body types. No one type of emotional support or
healing works for all personality types. Bonnie has discovered
that the secret to her resilience and personal growth is building
a patchwork quilt of solutions just for her: various exercise
programs, support of friends, spending time in nature, seeking
expert knowledge, reading books, and of course, always relying on
prayer for guidance.
