Empowered Tools

By women for women 💪🏾

When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike was prepared to cut the terms of Felix's endorsement by as much as 70% due to the pregnancy and told her to “know your place and just run.”

Amid all of this, she was forced to have an emergency c-section seven months into her pregnancy because of a potentially life-threatening condition and her baby had to live for more than a month in the NICU. But two years later she’s qualified for her fifth Olympics with her daughter watching.

Felix dropped Nike and created her own brand of running shoes, the Saysh One. She is currently running in the Olympics in Japan wearing them under the banner “I Know My Place”.

With 11 medals now, she passed Carl Lewis this summer for the most track and field medals by an American in history!

"I used my voice and built this company for you. So that you never have to train at 4:30am while you're 5 months pregnant to hide your pregnancy from your sponsor.”

Speaking of bright futures. 🕶

Her confidence in herself and our future as a country is inspiring. 💗

She recently joined a call with other female business women from and explained as president she wants to make sure everyone that wants a home has a home and that everyone has enough food 🥲

Proud is not a strong enough word.

If raising confident children is my greatest contribution to the future than I will be proud of my work.

This tiny human is the reason for all of my vim and vigor! 🔥

She has an older brother with a heart of gold 💛 that made me a mom and for that I will be forever grateful.

But this little ray of sunshine ☀️ is what makes me fight, she’s the reason I tell my story, why I believe tomorrow will be better. She is my reason. She is worth it because I know she deserves better. 🌈

So on this International Women’s Day, I celebrate her, and me, and the women that made me 💗
