And we can also see and celebrate women in a holistic way that we didn't feel like was being done.

Yeah.

And I think when you've really given your life to something for so long and to feel so discarded, it was very painful.

And so it was picking up the pieces.

And to me, to be able to make it back to the Olympics, to do it wearing our shoes was incredible.

And also in front of my daughter and really getting to one day fully be able to tell her what all that means.

I think it was really a full circle experience.

Yeah, it was a COVID year.

Yeah, it was heartbreaking.

And I think even more so, I didn't realize that that was not an uncommon experience.

That so many Black women have gone through that.

And so many don't get to have that experience of walking out of the hospital with their family.

And so that shifted dramatically.

my life.

I just felt like we have to be doing more.

There's no way that we can continue down this path.

For it to be more dangerous for me to give birth than it was for my mother, I mean, that just doesn't make sense.

And something like 80% of deaths and complications of women of color are preventable.

And so that whole experience, I think it gave me

just that push that I needed to be able to speak out and to be able to do things I never would have imagined because that's so far from what makes me feel comfortable.
