Swimmer Diana Nyad, author of motivational favorite and the autobiographical play , has long inspired listeners to push past life’s setbacks and take the courageous plunge towards personal victory. Nyad was the first person to ever swim the daunting 111 miles from Cuba to Florida without the use of a shark cage, an astonishing feat of bravery that thrust her into the limelight and made her an icon of perseverance and grit. This Pride Month, we asked Nyad to share the stories from and about the LGBTQIA+ community that have moved her over the years. She told us: “Stories of lives journeyed down unapologetically bold and forthright roads always grip me. This selection of novels, memoir and biography allows us to spend time with an array of bold and forthright individuals.” Check out Nyad’s Pride month picks below.
