AMD + OISELLE ONWARD

18 QUESTIONS WITH REBECCA MEHRA
For our fifth part of our “18 Questions” interview series with some of our professional athletes and advisors, we went for a stroll in Magnuson Park with middle distance pro and Littlewing athlete, Rebecca Mehra.
DO NOT OPEN UNTIL RACE DAY: POSTPARTUM PATIENCE EDITION
Don’t call it a comeback. Carrie Mack’s been here for years.
And yet, Carrie’s Eugene Half Marathon race on Sunday, May 1, is a comeback. Or rather, a slightly different Carrie will step to the line.
Carrie shares with us her thoughts going into this weekend, and a bit of what her new motherhood has taught her along the way.

MY FAVORITE WAY TO COMMUNITY - THE OISELLE VOLÉE
Community. To some, gathering may be more magical in person, to others the magic comes from a mid-day check in direct message that gives you the boost you need to get through a tough day, and to others it might be being a part of a private digital group where you can connect to share ideas and source advice. These are all ways I tend to find my favorite type of community within our Oiselle Volée.
FIRST BRA STORIES: IT’S COMPLICATED
I recently reached out to my Oiselle Volée teammates to ask them about their ‘first bra stories,’ because I think that moment (or shopping trip or conversation) is often memorable (and sometimes traumatic). Thank you to my teammates sharing these stories! You can read about them in the blog.
18 QUESTIONS WITH JENNA FESEMYER
We play "18 Questions" with Paralympian, Haute Volée wheelchair athlete, and 90s music lover Jenna Fesemyer. Come on in and get to know her better!
TRANS VISIBILITY + A TEAM FOR ALL WOMEN
Today, March 31, is International Transgender Day of Visibility, an event begun in 2009 by transgender activist Rachel Crandall Crocker to highlight and celebrate the lives of transgender people (particularly as a response to the more well-known Transgender Day of Rememberance, which calls attention to those whose lives were ended by violence).
18 QUESTIONS WITH KARA GOUCHER
Athlete-Advisors at Oiselle. Each represents Oiselle in running/sports via their individual pursuits, and as part of the Oiselle Advisory Group, which helps shape the direction of the company. In turn, our goal is to support their ongoing work as athletes, activists, writers, and thought leaders. In this blog, you will get to know Kara Goucher on a more personal level.
THE NEST ZOOMS OUT ON 2021
We asked The Nest to share their reflections on the wild year that was 2021. Thank you to our wing women for their thoughts, wisdom, and belief in the bird. You can read more of their thoughts in the blog.
HOW I LOST OWNERSHIP OF MY BODY AND MIND
Here you will find the story of Karelle Edwards-Perry, a pro athlete, Oiselle sponsored hurdler, athlete model, and all around fantastic human. While podium moments are familiar terrain, we've seen that it's the sharing of the full story that makes the biggest difference -- as we all search for ways to rise to life's challenges. You can read about Karelle's experiences in the blog.
RUN WITH WHO BROUGHT YOU
