I love that she's still advocating for athlete parents

[@user-hw3kp8wu2p]

It’s wild how much moms have to fight to just exist in the world

[@LEMATTOFFICIAL]

WILD!

[@immigrantmillionaire9484]

Allison is a class above the rest

[@plantsforlife1120]

ALLYSON FELIX………The epitome of a class Olympic act!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her unique ideas to advocate for women athletes is unsurpassed!!!!!!!!

[@EnjoyTheLongRun]

This is incredible! Thank you for doing this Allyson and continuing to fight for women’s rights!

[@Renee-vc3ji]

I am a Jamaican and my nationality does not stop me from loving Allyson Felix...she's a phenomenal person...she's beautiful, humble she's just everything.❤❤❤

[@SoberNatural]

Wait.... Allyson YOU ATE w this! I've been seeing your recent interviews and Netflix testimonials positioning you as a (motherhood rights activist for female athletes - edit), and I was just wondering what that looked like. And baby.... THIS is a statement! I'm not a father, but I know you're making a historical impact w this partnership and development! I'm very very proud of you and your teams for doing this. 🙏🏿 Respect queen. Keep doing your thing!

[@random-dc3xr]

Not reproductive rights. Just space for moms to "step away from it all" - the goal is to choose motherhood.

[@SoberNatural]

@random-dc3xr yes my bad. I didn't know the right wording. But I get your drift.

[@nca4794]

What a gift to competing parents and their families! It's amazing nobody thought of this before. Allyson is a gift.😊

[@FunTimeWithLeo]

Allyson Felix is purely AMAZING!

[@raoulroberts2024]

I love this concept. It's long overdue, but Allyson is the ideal person to pioneer it. Hopefully, in time, athlete fathers can find similar escape and bonding opportunities in the space.

[@SoberNatural]

@raoulroberts I'm sure they'll be using it this year no doubt. That's what's so great abt it. She described it as a nursery for athletes. I don't think k she described it as specific for women. I think the fact that the men will be able to have a comfortable place for their wives to bring their young kids will be a great place for the men to spend their time w their kids and wives, etc... giving them a place to focus and refuel outside of the tension-filled Olympic village and venues.

[@raoulroberts2024]

@@SoberNatural That's wonderful.

[@surambaya]

She is just an amazing woman through and through....♥

[@Loveabounds.]

Love Allyson always a champion 🎉

[@BdCgWgLover313]

I love this woman! Thanks for your amazing career and the work you continue to do.

[@harrisonia]

It HAD to take an Olympian to fill the void on this! WAY TO GO, Allyson!! 👏🏽😊

[@mramirez5239]

THIS IS WHAT A HERO LOOKS LIKE!! 💐💪🥇🏆🏅

[@chrisa3249]

Allyson Felix i been fan since 2004 and I am still a fan I wish you continued success in ypur retirement❤

[@Quahogger]

She is so amazing. An American treasure. I love track and field! Ran competitively in road races for decades, single mother. I support women’s sports and women’s health. She’s a great athlete and making a difference in women’s lives. Her shoe business is terrific. Best shoes I’ve ever had.

[@mramirez5239]

Thanks for the shoe tip!

[@sleo6664]

I need to get a pair for me & my daughter 😊

[@naimahdye4206]

Love her and all the advocating she does for working moms❤

[@charleshenry8194]

This is so great to see! Winning an individual bronze and a team gold at the last Olympics as a mom. And turning her passion into something great for moms. Female athlete turned advocate and entrepreneur it will be great to see what she does with her company, platform, foundation donation and more! Go Allyson!!

[@JohnW9012]

Allyson is a Queen.

[@jayj.6146]

I love this! Allyson Felix has really been a trailblazer in advocating for mother’s who are athletes.

[@daejohnwhite1730]

Okay Mother making moves this is our queen much love.

[@catherinegreen1152]

The thoughts was put into this were rubbing on the brain of many who were not BRAVE because of their experience with sponsors'. Felix would have had the internal support from team USA and run with funds she received. This is most important to any woman - athlete knows their child or children are being properly cared for by people who support their decisions - athlete mother relationship. BIG success for the women - Allyson Felix salute you - showing how much she cares.

[@keisha5184]

Felix is making waves this is so dope

[@Mineo5]

So thoughtful!!

[@christophermcdonough1353]

Impressive, world champion, most decorated lady!! Wow!! Well done!!

[@Evilene52]

Getting the funding to help black women survive childbirth and also the research funds to seek out the causes, is amazing. She almost died while giving birth to her first child, so she knows what she is talking about. An astronomical amount of black women die from complications of childbirth than any other race. She just lost a good friend, Tori Bowie, a fellow decorated athlete to this exact same issue. She is a blessing to this world.

[@rn2511]

Go Allyson. You’re incredible. Proud of you. Continue to pave the way

[@paulettahatchett6271]

Dear Alison Felix, You are a true champion 🏆 and a woman of influence! I celebrate you and your amazing work! 🎉

[@chocolatecapricorn9418]

She looks beautiful ❤

[@hazelnutspred3348]

the way that this took until this year to become a thing is wild

[@lexthegrayrose4778]

I love that she’s doing this after she was almost reduced in pay… until she parted with Nike and started her own company.

[@crackerjacks6789]

She is one of the most celebrated women athletes she is so quiet and ladylike.. she is the wholesome girl next door. She has a good reputation and has alway brought class and good sportsmanship to track and field. I admire the example she has set for young women. She has a amazing husband who was smart enough to marry her. In the end good girls finish first congratulations to your beautiful family. I know your husband must be so proud he is a man who loves her. Her parents and siblings must be proud of her. I’m proud of her too go Allison.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@keciaanderson6317]

AF, you are such an amazing woman, mom, and athlete. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[@karimdiop7305]

Tough girl ! She is a true champion on and off the field !

[@crackerjacks6789]

Allysom Felix is inspiration, a true legend ON and OFF the track.

Love this!

[@Drmy2Barbies1891]

I think what you are doing for women of all cultures to bond and take their children with them on their Olympic journey is an awesome reward for mothers.

[@ms.inspiration385]

This is amazing!!!

[@mokaLARE]

Interesting! Wonder why nobody thought of this before. But hey it must start somewhere…

[@eddedream8586]

IKR I was just thinking that with it being the freaking Olympics you would think they would have done this I mean at least 20 years ago 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Literally every sport should have this tennis basketball especially the WNBA the NFL, FIFA like they ALL need to get on board with this one 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@sunshinerobinson1123]

Mmmm m🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@nnenne4]

Because the norm was that once you had a baby you retired and you didn't come back.

[@mokaLARE]

@@eddedream8586 you are absolutely right.

[@mokaLARE]

@@nnenne4 that is true. They certainly thought they could not recover from pregnancy and get back into shape.

[@HighMaintenanceMinimalist]

She is so accomplished at such a young age. Her kids are lucky to call her "mom."

[@gapeachdenise7]

Awesome 🎉

[@deborahblount8571]

[@LadyT06]

Bloody agents😢!!

[@eduardoriveiracano3424]

Wonderful Lady

[@nicolegordon129]

I think this is fantastic!! It's been a long time coming for sure. The grant money is huge as well. The mortality rate amongst African American women is staggering. I'm hopeful about the future impact that the grant, and this Olympic village mother/baby area.
