Serena Williams : “I Feel Insecure as a Mom”
Serena Williams, in a recent press conference in Philadelphia, spoke about being a parent and more. Serena Williams says that she feels very nervous being a parent, and always thinks that she is doing something wrong. “I always have these insecurities that I’m not good enough as a mom”, said Serena Williams. “We all go through these different emotions that we all don’t feel comfortable talking about. But I think we should.”
Serena also went on to add that black women and mothers in particular were not getting the treatment they deserved in her country. “I did some research and I was alarmed that our black mothers are not being taken care of. It’s in this country that is supposed to be so technologically advanced”, said Serena Williams. “Why are we treating out mothers like this?” It’s really unacceptable. I feel like if I can help save lives – that’s one of the best things that you can do.”
In a recent video, Serena Williams bared her clothes for raising awareness for breast cancer.
