Alexis Ohanian is the husband of the legendary tennis player Serena Williams. This is something that has become an integral part of the Reddit co-founder. The entrepreneur who played a major role in changing the face of the global internet and social media platforms is now recognized for being Williams’ husband. But the change in narrative has not been a matter of contention for Ohanian. He once talked about the shift in narratives and he likes to see it through different eyes.

The Reddit co-founder might not have been a great tennis fan. However, the ability of the entrepreneur to embrace a new role with all his heart has made the change.
Alexis Ohanian on shifting narratives
The Reddit co-founder has left his mark all around the world by revolutionizing the world of social media. However, that is not the only image that he has carried. Ohanian once opened up about this and said, “Ten years ago, I would get stopped for being ‘the Reddit guy’ and that made me feel nice.” But that did not always stay the same, and he stated, “And then a few years after that, people would be pitching me their startups because they knew I was doing investing and that felt nice, too.”

And then finally when he married Serena Williams, perspectives changed drastically. He said, “But then, a few years ago, people just started shouting at me, ‘Alexis, I love your wife!’ And, you know, obviously, that’s a great feeling, too.”

The 23-time Grand Slam champion is not a champion only on the court. Along with being the best on the tennis court, the tennis player is someone who has made an impact on the rest of the world too.
