Seems like Angel Reese is getting a grand welcome to the Windy City. And surely, her recently revealed role model, Serena Williams, is on the list of people welcoming the 21-year-old. The tennis icon has ensured that the freshly minted Chi Barbie feels at home through all the changes. Hence, gifting the No. 5 of the Chicago Sky with some relaxing essentials was a must.

The Baltimore native gave her 3 million Instagram followers a sneak peek into the trunk of goodness she received from Serena Williams. She captioned the story, “Much needed for the start of training camp! Thank you @SerenaWilliams & @WillPerform.” The chic trunk also had a hand-written letter from the 23x Grand Slam singles winner. The letter said, “Angel! Congratulations on your exciting new chapter! As you take some well-deserved rest, it’s only right we give you our essentials, The Bayou Barbie way!”

The surprise included a ‘Will Perform’ Epsom salt stick along with the entire batch soak care package. Williams ended the letter by saying, “We can’t wait to see what’s next in your amazing journey.” Apparently, there were some goodies from her company as well, at the bottom of the trunk.
