I can never get enough of Serena's confidence. Her tennis career is a reminder to never allow the opinions of naysayers change your course and how you feel about yourself. She is the GOAT and such an inspiration.

@msoddballz5763 Жыл бұрын

Serena (and her sister Venus)definitely made history. Personally, I loved seeing her and her sister wearing beads and braids in their early years. It shows representation. I knew she had a fashion line back in the day (and one today), but I had no clue that she studied fashion and learned to sew. That's pretty cool that she was so dedicated to multi-task by learning fashion, and do school while playing tennis and traveling all over the world. She's definitely multitalented and hardworking. I also love that she was hands on with what she wanted to wear and didn't allow any to change her mind. The denim tennis skirt was very cute and I love that bedazzled strap. Another thing sewing her bra into her shirt smart.

I agree. And the very reasons many of us like Serena--her now unapologetic power, strength, and take-no-BS stance--are the reasons some others dislike her. In their tiny minds, they think people like Serena should be content with simply being included and should not insist on being heard or being treated fairly.
