Olympians Felix, Delle Donne headline “Lead with Love” campaign

Track great Allyson Felix and WNBA star Elena Delle Donne are using their platform as professional athletes to make change in their communities, in part, through P&G’s “Lead with Love” campaign. Heading toward the Tokyo Games, both athletes star in the film “Your Goodness is Your Greatness.”

ELENA DELLE DONNE: The idea of your goodness is your greatness is, yes, like, you can achieve things on court, but the most important thing is what do you do with your platform to help others and to make this world a better place?

- I'm proud of you for doing the things that we could all be doing.

- The things you do every day.

- Things that matter.

ALLYSON FELIX: I think what P&G is doing to really highlight leading with love is amazing, and especially using the Olympic platform to do so. And for me, it was really cool to see us as athletes are being highlighted and using our voice to help others. And for me, my work around the maternal mortality crisis and just advocating for women is really special.

- And I can't wait to see what you do next.

ALLYSON FELIX: Yeah, I mean, it's so important to me because in my life, the way that my parents raised me, that's what they did. They led with love, and I want to do that in my daughter's life as well. So just really celebrating that and trying to impact some change.

ELENA DELLE DONNE: And what I love the most about this campaign is it's inspiring others to just do good in their daily activities. It doesn't have to be a humongous act of kindness. Something as small as smiling at someone, or asking them how their day is, or just turning their day around by being compassionate and caring-- if we could all do those small acts and do them daily, our world would be a much better place, much more inclusive.
