WCW: Serena Williams
Welcome to my Woman Crush Wednesdays (WCW) where I’ll be celebrating the black women I stan (and you should too).
This week belongs to one of the greatest athletes of all-time. The incredible, beautiful, magnificent, and unfuckwitable, Serena Williams.
GOAT 🐐 status tennis player who’s won 85% of all her matches
Including doubles matches with sister Venus
She holds the most Grand Slam titles in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles among active players.
Serena is also a four time olympic gold medalist.
Not only is she an on-court champion but also a warrior for females athletes everywhere. Every match she plays is a fight to break the glass ceiling and defy odds. The tennis world puts her through a lot of bullshit.

Serena, I’ve enjoyed watching you play for as long as I can remember and I feel fortunate to be alive during your era. Your skill, drive, intensity, and intentionality inspire me and countless others. Thank you for being so damn dope. Queen on, you phenomenal woman!
