Olympic Champ Allyson Felix On Her Decision To Take On Nike Over Its Maternity Policies: “Terrifying And Uncomfortable” – Bentonville Film Festival
Allyson Felix talks her battle with Nike in 'She Runs the World,' calling the public spat over maternity protections "terrifying and uncomfortable."
It came as shocking news, then, when Felix publicly took on the company in 2019, writing a New York Times op-ed that criticized the corporation’s maternity policies governing its roster of female stars. “For someone like Allyson, as she said, staying in her own lane, being the good girl, doing the right thing — to go up against a company like that, it’s phenomenal,” executive producer Tonya Lewis Lee observed at the Q&A.
