Abstract Skier Bonnie St. John was born on November 7, 1964 in Detroit, Michigan. With a stunted leg at birth, St. John was forced to have her leg amputated at age 5, but soon found a love of skiing. In 1984, she qualified for the 1984 Paralympics, where she became the second fastest woman in the world on one leg, and the first African American to win a medal at the Winter Paralympics or Winter Olympics. She graduated from Harvard University in 1986, and won a Rhodes scholarship, attending Oxford University, where she earned her M.Litt. degree in economics. St. John had a short career at IBM before she became a director for Human Capital Issues on the White House National Economic Council. St. John founded Blue Circle Leadership in 1994, to assist companies in creating a culture of sustainable growth. In 2010, she was a member of President Barack Obama's official delegation to the Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada. She authored six books.
