Serena Williams injects herself with a GLP-1 weight loss drug as millions watch the Super Bowl. She dances and shows off how “convenient” it is to get GLP-1s using the Ro app. She even says you can get them in pill form. I miss the days when the Super Bowl sold beer & trucks.

Being overweight comes with a health risk , like alcohol and seeking help to overcome personal challenges is always the right thing to do. I think it’s great that @serenawilliams don’t pretend it just happened overnight , but openly inform about what she did to achieve her

“A child who is not embraced by the village comes back to burn down the village” … if people wanted her to be a great role model on body image perhaps they would have kept silent in her youth, over her image
