Alison M. Désir on Fighting Racism in the Running Industry

"I Dare to Freely Move": How Activist Alison M. Désir Is Fighting Racism in Running
22 Shares
Runner, writer, activist, and mental health advocate Alison Mariella Désir just went on her first run in "such a long time" without her son in a jogging stroller. "I was like, oh my god. This is freedom!" she told POPSUGAR. "This is such a beautiful thing!"
At 16 months postpartum, Désir is still easing back into running, both physically and mentally. After giving birth, "not only was I not able to run, I didn't want to," the runner said in Gatorade Endurance's "Someone Like Me" Speaker Series. It was "frightening," she said, to no longer connect with an activity that had been so powerful for her. Returning to running "has been a long process," she said.
