Born in August 1990, Bowie's death was such shocking news that nearly all American media urgently reported it. Bowie's agency, Icon Management, also stated that day, "We have lost our beloved friend, daughter, and sister, Bowie. She was a brightly shining torch."

Bowie won her first major championship medal by placing third in the women's 100m at the 2015 Beijing World Championships. At the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she earned three medals: second place in the 100m, third in the 200m, and first in the 400m relay.

At the 2017 London World Championships, Bowie won the women's 100m and also secured a gold medal as the anchor (final runner) for the U.S. team in the 400m relay.

In the 2019 Doha World Championships, Bowie competed in the long jump and finished fourth. However, her performance declined from late 2019, and she did not participate in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic trials, nor did she compete after June 2022.

Standing 175 cm tall with excellent fashion sense, Bowie also worked as a model for various brands.

Upon hearing the news of Bowie's passing, World Athletics, USA Track & Field, and others immediately expressed their condolences. Athletes who competed alongside Bowie on the international stage were also deeply saddened.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica, regarded as one of the greatest female sprinters in history, wrote on her social media, "My deepest condolences to Bowie's family. Bowie was a great competitor and always a shining athlete. Your smile will never be forgotten. Rest in peace."
