Serena Williams has overcome insurmountable odds to win 23 career Grand Slams, the second-most singles titles of record. Her remarkable tennis achievements, combined with her off-court success in fashion, philanthropy, and business, make her one of the most recognizable icons in the world—and a powerful voice for women, mothers, and future mothers. In 2019, Williams launched her own VC firm, Serena Ventures, investing in companies that embrace diverse leadership, individual empowerment, creativity, and opportunity. Williams’ fashion brand, SERENA, which celebrates body positivity and female empowerment, made its New York Fashion Week debut in September of 2019.
