Fraser-Pryce, Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympic Games 100m champion, said: “I am super excited to share my most recent project! My upcoming children’s book, “I Am A Promise” which will be launched in September at select Sangster’s Bookstores locations.”

“Seeing my personal journey depicted in print and colour is such a blessing for me, and I am so humbled to be able to share it with you all,” she wrote under the book cover and video posted on social media.

“The genesis of this is founded on what I believe is fundamentally important; how we raise our children, the importance of consistent love and nurturing their God-given talents always,” continued the seven-time World Championships gold medallist.

“This is book is extra special for me also as I will be able to read it to Zyon (her son) and teach him these valuable lessons as he grows up,” she concluded while thanking Ashley, Rachel and Akashic Books Publisher.
