The Williams Sisters are Trending

Venus and Serena Williams are both making headlines this week!

Recently, Venus Williams was honored with a Barbie doll as part of Mattel’s Inspiring Women series, celebrating her 2007 Wimbledon victory and her advocacy for gender equality in sports (Topic Pulse).

I love this for her and for us! How dope is it that little girls that look like her, can not only be influenced by her athleticism, but also inspired during play time. Now, this is not the first time that Mattel has honored her; she was also included in Barbie’s 65th anniversary collection. This time, however, she’s being recognized for blazing the trail and helping women secure an equal bag in tennis! If you would like to purchase the Venus Williams Barbie, it’s only $38, check it out here.

Many people are using GLP-1 medications for help controlling their weight, and it looks like Serena is one of them. Fans have been buzzing about her recent weight loss, and she shared her weight loss journey publicly recently. She shared with People magazine that she’s lost over 31 pounds since beginning the drug and is quoted as saying ” I feel really good and healthy. I feel light physically and light mentally.”

I’m glad for her and others who have found these GLP-1 medications a healthy option, but I will say please make sure that you are seeking advice from your health care professional before starting any weight loss regimen. I’ve heard great things as well as horror stories. Be sure to do what’s best for your body in the long run.
