Deiondra Sanders stood up for women who have given birth on X on Saturday. The first daughter of Deion Sanders welcomed her first child in August 2024. Since then, she’s been experiencing what motherhood looks like and the joy that comes with it.
There’s a stereotype that women with children hardly regain the health they had before giving birth. This often leads to body shaming and a sense of surprise when mothers don’t look exactly as they are expected to. Deiondra Sanders voice her opinion on this on Saturday:
“This girl gone say, ‘Do I look like I got kids,’ and showed her body. I stood up and said, “What that mean? I have a kid.” Im confused. What a body with a kid look like? Anybody who carried a child out bodies are a beautiful blessing. We all beautiful ❤️".
Giving birth takes a toll on the body and changes are only normal, something that Deiondra took a stand for on social media.
