Ashley is thrilled to welcome Alison Desir onto the Bizzimumzi Podcast.
Alison Mariella Désiris multi-talented: an athlete, a founder, a doer, an activist, a connector, and an unapologetically straightforward communicator with a passion for community health.
Alison is the author of Running While Black
She is the founder of Harlem Run, an NYC-based running movement, and Run 4 All Women, which has raised over $150,000 for Planned Parenthood and $270,000 for Black Voters Matter.
Alison is co-founder and former chair of the Running Industry Diversity Coalition, a nonprofit that unites the running industry to provide resources, measure progress, and hold the industry accountable to equitable employment, leadership, and ownership positions and improve inclusion, visibility, and access for Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
Alison most recently has channeled her personal experiences and formal training to bring the mental benefits of running to a broader group.
Alison was named as one of the “Power Women of 2022” by Women's Running Magazine. She was also listed as one of the most influential African Americans, aged 25 to 45, by The Root 100.
