Olympian Raven Saunders Twerked While Her Celebrating Shot Put Win, Broadcast Wouldn’t Her Be Great
But Saunders made another statement on Sunday after receiving her medal. The shot putter was seen crossing her arms in an “X” to advocate for oppressed people around the world. Saunders, who is openly gay, said the symbol represents “the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet.”
She said there was a time in her life where she was on her way to “carrying (out) an attempt to end her life,” devastated by the poverty and depression ravaging the Black community.
“If not for sending a text to an old therapist I would not be here (right now),” she said. “All these things weighing on me for 22 years, I was finally able to process it. I was finally able to separate Raven from ‘The Hulk.’”
