At the Tokyo Olympics, Raven Saunders experienced the highest high of her life, followed by the lowest low. After winning silver in shot put, she made an ‘X’ on the podium, representing where the “oppressed meet.” Less than 36 hours later, though, she got a call that her mom had passed away. In this episode of On Her Turf, MJ Acosta-Ruiz and Lindsay Czarniak speak with Raven about how she coped with the loss of her mom, and how she hopes to continue promoting the importance of mental health. Plus, Raven gives a preview of the celebration she has planned if she wins gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
