Serena Williams is one of the most successful women tennis players in the history, if not the most successful. The 38-years-old American is also known for her participation in many projects that support minorities. With many riots connected to death of George Floyd in the United States, Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian also expressed their opinion on current events.

"I felt like this couldn't wait. We come together every Saturday to talk about fashion, to talk about life, to talk about so many different things that are happening personally and professionally, and obviously, there has been so much lately that's been happening around the world that has really, truly, affected so many people in so many different ways," Williams said.

"There's been so many major headlines and so many people who have been really stepping up and saying, 'I don't like this. I'm not going to stand for this. I don't feel good about what's been happening.' "It's hard. It's something that, unfortunately, has become normal for us. It's normal to go to different places and feel unaccepted. I entered a sport that was all white, and it definitely wasn't easy, looking back," Williams added.

"I was also very young and I just adapted, I wasn't there to be besties with anybody, I was just there to play tennis. And it all really boiled down to my faith, and that all of this is temporary. I don't think I would be in this position, I think I would be very angry, very spiteful, very jealous, if I didn't have that spiritual background."

"A lot of people don't know that in my whole life, I've had to deal with so many different challenges. I've had to deal with a lot of inequality, I've had to deal with racism and sadly, it's become, unfortunately, somewhat of a norm for people who have my skin color. It is really unfortunate, but it's something I think that, systematically, we just have to ultimately deal with, and I shouldn't have let it become a norm, Williams said. "I, personally, am very God-fearing and I believe in the Bible, and the one way that we can have peace and security is through God, so I've taken solace in that, but it's sad that someone on my level has had to accept... so many different things because of the color of my skin."
