About this organization
Mission
&Mother is an impact non-profit dedicated to breaking the barriers that limit a woman’s choice to pursue and thrive in both career, sport, and motherhood. We envision a working world where mothers are supported as leaders and sought after as employees. Where the value of mothers in the workforce has become intrinsic such that structural norms facilitate the needs of the modern family.
About
&Mother’s story starts with our founder: Olympian, Global Medalist, and seven-time USA Track & Field National Champion, Alysia Montaño. Montaño became a viral sensation when she competed at the USA Nationals Championship in 2014 while eight-months pregnant with her daughter, Linnéa. This moment in the spotlight earned her the nickname, “The Pregnant Runner,” and gave the public pause as they started to reconsider the archaic limits set on pregnant bodies. 3 years later, Montaño went on to compete again in the 2017 USA Nationals Championship while five-months pregnant with her second child, Aster. Shifting the narrative around what women’s bodies were capable of, and the importance of exercise while pregnant or post-partum for physical and mental health, was just the beginning. We envision a society at a gender parity that is healthier and more productive because it values the contributions of women, with or without children. In 10 years, we envision a culture where motherhood is not a limiting factor in how women succeed professionally or personally. Where women can openly express their needs and receive support without retribution.
