Retired tennis great Serena Williams has taken another step forward in the entertainment industry, as the former World No.1 has partnered with Invisible Universe to introduce a new animated children’s show, Dance with Qai Qai.
According to an interview with People, the YouTube series is inspired by her daughter Olympia’s favorite doll, Qai Qai, and will motivate viewers to dance along with the doll as she shows off her signature moves.
Williams stated she will embrace her love for dance by practicing new moves with her daughter.
“We can’t wait for other families to get to watch — and dance — together!” she said.
Dance with Qai Qai will feature seasonal and kid-centric themes that extend from Qai Qai’s TikTok videos which have garnered millions of followers since the doll was introduced on Instagram in 2018. Williams revealed that 16-year-old Taikirha Miller is voicing the role of Qai Qai.
“Everyone needs to find their voice, and I’m happy Qai Qai found hers in Taikirha,” Williams said.
Furthermore, she believes the possibilities for the Qai Qai franchise are endless because fans will have an opportunity to connect with the character on a deeper level.
