Tennis pro Serena Williams began her record-shattering career in the mid-’90s before branching out into the fashion, beauty and entertainment space.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner has been very vocal about body positivity and sharing her wellness routine with fans over the years. When she’s not dominating the competition out on the court, she flaunts her figure in fabulous bikinis on beaches all over the world.
Serena’s career has seen no shortage of success and incredible accomplishments along with her talented older sister, Venus Williams. In an October 2020 interview with Vogue, the Florida native shared that it was challenging to grow up surrounded by negativity in the media.
“When I was growing up, what was celebrated was different,” she said. “Venus looked more like what is really acceptable: she has incredibly long legs, she’s really, really thin.
I didn’t see people on TV that looked like me, who were thick. There wasn’t positive body image. It was a different age.”
