Incredible Raven: Saunders lends her voice to the Olympics

The “Incredible Hulk” mask should not fool anybody. Even though she had already been to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and was in the midst of a career on an upward track, Saunders said in an Instagram post that on Jan. 26, 2018, she was on her way to “carrying an attempt to end my life.” “If not for sending a text to an old therapist I would not be here,” she said. '” Saunders is one of around 180 out LGBTQ athletes competing at the Tokyo Olympics, according to the website Outsports, which estimates that's more than triple the number who competed in Brazil five years ago. “I feel like the atmosphere around a lot of things, especially when you're doing so well, is Well, you have everything going for you so you don't have anything to worry about,'” Saunders said. “It's OK to need people, and I feel like in our community, a lot of times through history, we haven't had access to the resources to be able to do that," she said.
