Casey Legler: Godspeed

Former French Olympic swimmer and the first woman to sign a male modelling contract with Ford Models, Casey Legler has an interesting life story to share. The New York Times called their memoir, Godspeed, “raw and poetic… lean and ferocious”, and Legler will be at the Sydney Writers’ Festival to talk about their unflinching memoir that covers the public life of a competitive swimmer and the private struggle of alcohol and substance abuse. Casey will speak with activist and Change.org Australia executive director Sally Rugg.
