Their daughter was born prematurely

In 2018, the couple gave birth to their first child, a daughter Camryn which was not an easy birth. 

Allyson was 33 when she gave birth to her daughter. Allyson and Camryn both were at high risk since Allyson had tried keeping her pregnancy a secret because of her career. 

It was until four months when the doctor revealed that she had high blood pressure and her future born heart rate to be slow, resulting in preeclampsia. 

Camryn was born seven weeks premature on the 8th of November, 2018, through an emergency C-section.

His wife’s used voice led Nike to change its maternity policy for athletes

His wife Allyson is not only a great Olympian but also a great person who does not fear to speak for the right. 

At the time of her pregnancy, she discovered that black women had a high rate of risk during pregnancy resulting in a high mortality rate compared to white women. 

She became the voice of black women and mothers and advocated for black mothers dying in childbirth. 

She came forward speaking about her previous long-time sponsor, Nike. 

She confessed to Nike not paying during the time of pregnancy despite her great accomplishments. 

She also talked about the maternity leave and challenges faced by female athletes. 

According to her, at the time of pregnancy, the contract is on hold and only gets resumed after returning to the competitions. 

Because of raising the voice and speaking out the truth, there was an awareness that helped bring out the slight change, which she thinks is the starting point. 

Taking her statement into consideration, Nike, on the 24th of May 2019, responded, saying no female athlete will be penalized financially for pregnancy as per an official policy they created in 2018 standardizing their approach to all sports. 

Her used voice led Nike to change its maternity policy for athletes. 

Allyson soon left Nike and signed with Athleta, a women-focused apparel brand, becoming the first sponsored athlete of the brand.
