Allyson Felix

Allyson Felix reigns as the most decorated American Track & Field Olympian of all time with twenty-seven global medals at the Olympics and World Championships. Felix’s lifestyle brand, Saysh aims to create an encouraging and supportive community for women, but it also designs and manufactures athletic-inspired footwear made for and by women. Felix is a fierce advocate for maternity rights for all women. In 2019, she wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times that called out Nike, her former sponsor, for not providing guaranteed protections for pregnant athletes and new moms. The public reaction to the piece put pregnancy discrimination in athletics in the spotlight, and the practice was heavily criticized. During the 2020 Olympics, Felix alongside her new sponsor Athleta, created the Power of She Fund: Child Care Grant – a fund to assist mom-athletes with childcare while competing at the games. Felix has always been passionate about children and serves as a member of the Right To Play board hoping to raise awareness for underserved children in developing regions.
