I just think about who I am every single day behind closed doors and behind cameras.

Venus added, “I’m so inspired by other changemakers too.

I absolutely love design.

I love passing on what I know.”

But both women are looking forward to a life away from the spotlight.

“From such a young age, all we’ve done is work.

So, I think for Serena and I to explore that freedom is surreal.

We’ve never been free,” Venus said.

The Williams sisters have fought hard for their place in the industry, particularly as Black women.
