Alison Mariella Désir | Dwight-Englewood 2003

Alison Mariella Désir was featured in Running Insight magazine’s “25 Women to Watch in Run Specialty.” The article, published in their January/February 2022 issue, highlights Alison’s work as the co-chair of the Running Industry Diversity Coalition and promotes her upcoming book, “Running While Black,” as well as her second apparel collection with Oiselle in the Fall of 2022. She is quoted in the article encouraging companies in the running industry to “embed a racial justice framework” into their business practices. Alison was also the Keynote Commencement Speaker for the D-E Class of 2022!
