Perdita Felicien on CBC’s Sport’s Player’s Own Voice Podcast

On the Player’s Own Voice podcast, World Champion hurdler and acclaimed new author Perdita Felicien shares her insights about the racing days that lie ahead at these Summer Games.

Spoiler alert: there are no firm predictions about who is going to take the women’s 100m finals, but plenty of confidence in saying that particular race will be one for the ages.

Podcast host Anastasia Bucsis can’t resist probing some of the still-raw stories from Perdita’s book, My Mother’s Daughter.
The book details both the track star and her mom’s childhoods, and the precarious circumstances that the two of them managed to overcome as they fled poverty, abuse and uncertainty.
