Personal Trainer
In 2011, Raven shed off 70 pounds of body weight. She used to be more than 200 pounds when measured on the scale. But, now, after getting rid of excess weight, she looks more confident and comfortable.
She incorporated 30 minutes of cardio workout, primarily elliptical trainer workout, at least 4 days in a week and started eating lean proteins and healthy food.
Her new breakfast consisted of “Oatmeal and apple slices with almond butter” rather than “Cheese omelet and bacon”, which she used to eat before. The dinner also turned to be more healthy with “Salmon and steamed asparagus”, which earlier was “Orange chicken and white rice from a Chinese restaurant”.
In dessert, she started having “Baked pears with agave syrup” instead of “cupcakes”. So, there were lots of changes in her daily routine.
In May 2021, Raven revealed that she had lost almost 30 lbs by having a low-carb diet and having a minimum of 14-hour fast between dinner and breakfast.

I’m pretty sure you can add “enormous breasts” to Raven’s ‘Distinctive Features’ field.
No you should not
She is bisexual because if she was a lesbian then she won’t date males
She publicly stated on ‘The View’ in 2016 that she was a lesbian.
At the age of 12, she saw boys and girls as romantic interests (biromantic and/or bisexual). But then again, she is a lesbian not bisexual.
I believe she stated she didn’t want to be labeled as gay or lesbian. (I could be wrong) Healthyceleb, please respect she does not want to labeled. She has clearly said before she wants to be a human who loves humans. Do not assume one’s sexual orientation.
