<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">#Roommates, although the 2021 Tokyo Olympics are still months away, five-time Olympic gold medalist <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/simone-biles-claps-back-after-online-trolls-question-why-her-boo-jonathan-owens-doesnt-post-her-on-social-media/">Simone Biles</a> is still out here making major moves. It was recently announced that Simone Biles has officially ended her six-year partnership with Nike for Athleta—which is a subsidiary of Gap and run by all women.</p>
<p>Simone Biles is one of the sports industry’s most <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/simone-biles-athleta-partnership-details-48287754?utm_medium=twitter&;utm_source=post&;utm_campaign=fitness">sought after athletes</a>, who is guaranteed to bring in a lot of revenue, which is why her latest business venture is currently making headlines. @Popsugar notes that Simone has left her days at Nike behind and instead decided to join the brand Athleta, that is all about the girl-power. Her new “long-term collaboration” with Athleta will include the release of multiple activewear capsule collections featuring sports bras, leggings and more, that Simone will contribute to designing.</p>
<p>Simone shared the news of her new partnership on social media, noting that Athleta’s mission of supporting and empowering young women, helped her make the decision:</p>
<p><em>“They show women and girls of all ages, sizes, abilities, races, and backgrounds and design their products that way too. . . . As I take the next step in my career, it was super important for me to align with a partner who supports me, not just as a gymnast or an athlete, but for the individual that I am and the change that I want to create.”</em></p>
<p>Meanwhile, Jana Henning, Athleta Chief Product Officer, expressed her excitement at welcoming Simone to the Athleta family. “Our team is looking forward to working collaboratively with [Simone] to bring the same elements of confidence, strength, and grace she demonstrates on and off the mat into future collections for girls.”</p>
<p>We definitely can’t wait to see what #BlackGirlMagic Simone whips up with her new activewear line!</p>
