Having overcome it all, now, Felix wants to set a foundation for her daughter, Cammy, to acknowledge every type of body. Allyson said, “I think about showing my daughter lots of different women, lots of different shapes in the diversity of the people that I bring around her. I want her to know that strong and beautiful look so many different ways.”
