What is up, daddy Gang?
It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with call her daddy, daddy.
Allison Felix, welcome to call her daddy.
Thank you.
So, daddy Gang, with eleven olympic medals, Alison Felix is the most decorated track and field olympian of all time.
But today we're here to talk about equality and women's health.
I listened to your TED talk, Allison, and I want to talk about the thing themes because it's so powerful and I think it's really important that especially a lot of young women hear this conversation.
So let's start from the beginning of Allison.
Can you describe one of the scariest moments in your track and field career?
Yeah, absolutely.
In the TED talk.
And I talk about it often.
One of the scariest moments in my career being a morning that I was training at 04:00 a.m.
before the sun came out, while it was still dark.
And I was doing this because I was hiding my pregnancy.
And it really was such a difficult moment because I've always wanted to be a mother.
And, you know, obviously it's a time that should be celebrated and happy and so special.
And for me, it was the opposite.
Like, it was isolating.
Like I was literally hiding the majority of the time.
