Alysia Montaño on being an Olympic Athlete and a Mother on a Mission
Alysia Montaño is an Olympic athlete, a seven-time USA Outdoor Track and Field Champion, an entrepreneur, and a mother. In 2019, Alysia’s op-ed in The New York Times about the inequities in her Nike sponsorship brought worldwide attention to the barriers and career conflicts faced by professional athletes who are athletes and mothers. On Mothers Day 2020, Alysia founded &Mother, which is dedicated to breaking the barriers that limit a woman’s choice to pursue and thrive in both career and motherhood.
