Today I am doing a robotic assisted hysterectomy. There is a lot of equipment that needs constant monitoring. Thanks to surgical technicians I am able to focus on surgery and not on the equipment. It takes a team to be successful and I am grateful for mine at White Oak Medical Center.

Here is picture of an introperative ultrasound that I am able to do to detect exactly how many and where the fibroids are located.

Allyson Felix has been a pivotal advocate for maternity protections for female athletes. In 2019, she publicly criticized Nike for proposing a 70% pay cut during her pregnancy and for not offering maternity protections.

This advocacy led Nike to revise its maternity policy, extending protections to 18 months. 

Beyond influencing corporate policies, Felix launched her own footwear company, Saysh, in 2021. Saysh introduced a unique maternity return policy, allowing customers to exchange shoes if their foot size changes during pregnancy.  

Additionally, Felix has collaborated with organizations like Athleta and the Women’s Sports Foundation to provide childcare grants for mothers competing in events such as the Tokyo Olympics. 

Through these initiatives, Felix has significantly contributed to enhancing maternity protections and support for female athletes.

What make Mrs. Obama so impactful is her candidness to express her struggles and challenges with everyday things and her willingness to say it’s ok to not have everything figured out.

This is a daily challenge I have and to hear her say the same things makes me feel less anxious and worried. What a privilege to be in the same room with her.
