Serena Williams, the indisputable GOAT, has faced incessant racism and misogyny throughout her awe-inspiring career. And in her new cover interview with British Vogue, she reflected on being "underpaid, undervalued" as she established her place in the tennis world. "[But] I’ve never been a person that has been like, ‘I want to be a different colour’ or ‘I want my skin tone to be lighter,'" she added. "I like who I am, I like how I look, and I love representing the beautiful dark women out there.

For me, it’s perfect. I wouldn’t want it any other way." “Someone in my position can show women and people of colour that we have a voice, because lord knows I use mine.” @SerenaWilliams is not only one of history’s best athletes but also a fearless.
