Back on March 20, 2025, ‘TeeTee’ released her children’s book (co-authored by Dennis Vanasse), titled ‘TeeTee’s World Adventure’. Available at just $12.99 on Amazon, the book has already gained a five-star rating. And now, people are already sending orders for autographed copies. Taking to X, the Olympic gold medalist wrote, “I came home to 21 autograph book orders 🥹🤍 THANKYAAAAA.” 

Needless to say, the energy was way too high among the fans. But what took it up a notch was Terry’s off-track speed. A fan who had asked for a signed copy acknowledged this fact when she saw the shipping confirmation notification. And Terry’s response? She replied, “Yes sir!! Autographing and shipping them off was the first thing on my list.” That’s the kind of dedication that’s respected by the athletics community, don’t you agree?

Twanisha Terry reveals the reason behind writing the children’s book ahead of the Tokyo World Championships

During the release of ‘TeeTee’s World Adventure’, Terry stated, “I’m a woman of many things, and now I’m adding ‘author’ to the list.” Yes, she has made quite an impression with her off-track activities. She has developed interests like crocheting, interior designing, and a lot more. Of course, it all started as something fun. Her master’s degree in entrepreneurship and innovation is certainly helping her grow after giving it all on track.

‘TeeTee’ confessed, “Being known in different places and only just being known for the good things, being a role model to the younger kids and just seeing all the hard work and sacrifices pay off.” She’s truly amused by the fact that the name ‘TeeTee’ Terry is now known by many. Not just for her career on the tracks. But also for her interests away from it. Nevertheless, it’s her achievements that have pushed her off-track career further up. 

Terry began her medal collection with a silver in the 100m dash at the 2018 World U20 Championships, followed by a bronze in the 4x100m relay at the 2019 Pan American Games. She continued to claim golds in the 4x100m races at the 2022 Eugene, 2023 Budapest, and now, at the 2025 Tokyo World Championships. And how can we forget the gold at the Paris Olympics!
