Alison's nickname is Powdered Feet, which comes from the Haitian Kreyol, that describes a person so active that you never see them, just the footprints of where they\u2019ve been in powder. 

Named by Women's Running as one of twenty women who are changing the sport of running and the world, and by The Root 100 as one of the most influential African Americans ages 25 to 45. Alison is a mom, endurance athlete, activist, entrepreneur, writer, speaker, author and mental health advocate, who is passionate about community, mental health and fitness.  

Her impact on community and culture is wider then just running. There\u2019s so much that\u2019s she\u2019s done, that we could of spoken about. 

However for this interview, I focused mainly on her recent article titled \u201cAhmaud Arbery and Whiteness in the Running World\u2019\u2019 for Outside Magazine which I\u2019d recommend everyone to read.

This article covers the division of race within the running community, and it has resonated with so many and myself.
