Description
Alison Mariella Désir is an activist, runner, organizer, and author of the new book, Running While Black. After hearing her speak at the Feisty Women’s Performance Summit in 2022 (before the book was published) we wanted to catch up with Alison, hear how her book has been received, and learn more about her many cultural insights and observations about the Black experience in the running space.Alison shares how the past year has gone, post book launch, and the specific parts of the book that received pushback and critique. Further, she shares the ways the white culture influences how she presents herself in the world - and how she has worked to heal this. Finally, Alison gets honest about her postpartum depression - as well as the new program she’s designed to combine therapy and movement.@alisonmdesirhttps://alisonmdesir.com/ Founder of @HarlemRun, @Run4AllWomen, Running Industry Diversity CoalitionAuthor of Running While Black, purchase hereNutritionist mentioned: @black.nutritionistJoin us on March 7th at 4pm PST for our International Women's Day Panel Discussion www.womensperformance.com/iwdDownload the Feisty Female Athlete Guide:https://www.womensperformance.com/ Learn More about the Feisty Kona Tri-Cation:https://www.feistytriathlon.com/trication Follow us on Instagram:@feisty_womens_performance Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:InsideTracker: Get 20% off at insidetracker.com/feisty Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code PERFORMANCE at https://www.previnex.com VJ Shoes: Use code FEISTYVJ for $20 off a pair of shoes at https://vjshoesusa.com/pages/feisty
