Our voices have power. NIKE has joined in officially and contractually providing maternal protection to the female athletes they sponsor. This means that female athletes will no longer be financially penalized for having a child. I’m grateful to John Slusher and Mark Parker for their leadership and their desire to guide NIKE as a company who believes that we are all more than athletes. And THANK YOU to the brands who have already made this commitment. Who is next?

dr.cwill @af85 Thank You for sharing! Thank you for using your voice to bring about change for athlete mothers. My research topic for my dissertation was on the experience of female student-athletes who become mothers while competing at the collegiate level. I interviewed 12 athletes turned mothers and their experiences where both inspirational and heartbreaking at the same time. The thought of a soon to be mother not having the support she needs to enter in the next phase of her life and for some being penalized for it has inspired me to bring about change with my research. Hoping to publish my research later the fall. You should check out @ashermovie her documentary on her experience as a student-athlete and mother speaks to the support/needs of student athletes moms. Thanks again for your voice and being a change agent. Bless!

klazzymagazine @klazzymagazine @klazzymagazine my apologies @shethemanning & @eden_israel_7 ... damn... it is only 10 months. This is definitely not enough time for @af85 to bond with her baby and get back in shape. This is so dangerous. I feel like @serenawilliams came back too soon also. I do understand that runners only have about 15 years to be great, and that Olympians only get about 3 great runs (every 4 years) but @nike and @nikewomen and @nikebasketball should not make women feel pressured to jump back into it. I'm glad @skydigg4 is taking her time. I'm happy about the foresight by these organizations but I hope that as we move forward more of these decisions are made by women who have experienced motherhood.

ciaralikes You showed the world how powerful a mother can be. You lit the spark for a changement that will last though the history of sport. For all athletes who fight to gain respect as women in the most delicate period of their lives, when they deserve to feel protected and safe.

tranthona I say you are indeed an icon @af85👏🏽👏🏽. Keep doing what is good even if at times it wond be pleasant one but it will eventually payoff. You have shown to the world what it means & how important it is to be a parent. 👑👑

dimagogi Is time for action! Thank you @af85 for being brave enough to expose this situation and make the change happen. 👏👏👏. Good signal from @nike for reacting positively to this natural part of life.

hagenville This is great! 💪🏼💪🏼 I assume that if male athletes become physically hindered and unable to perform at their optimum for 18 months, they will also not be penalised financially?? #trueequality
