Amid recent abuse suffered by the likes of Amanda Anisimova and Taylor Townsend, a quote was reposted which resonates by Serena Williams, a fellow American as online abuse seems to continue to dominate.
“It was hard for me. People would say I was born a guy, all because of my arms, or because I’m strong.
"I was different to Venus: she was thin, tall & beautiful. I am strong & muscular & beautiful," said Serena to Harpers Bazaar.
This of course showing that even for Serena Williams as an athlete of her success suffered with bullying and abuse.
With online abuse running rampant, I’d like to revisit this quote from Serena Williams: “It was hard for me. People would say I was born a guy, all bc of my arms, or bc I’m strong. I was different to Venus: she was thin, tall & beautiful. I am strong & muscular & beautiful”
