American tennis legend, Serena Williams, has inspired millions with her game. Over the years, the American achieved almost everything which was there. However, the 41-year-old wanted to make an impact apart from her game. Serena in her early career was not very vocal and focused solely on tennis.

However, with time, she kept adding laurels to her name. This made the legend realize her potential and responsibility towards society. Serena since posed for the cover of Vogue magazine. Later, she also spoke about the political message she wanted to deliver.

When Serena turned political

When Serena appeared on the cover page of Vogue magazine, she had a clear idea in her mind. The former world number one wanted to inspire more of her kind. Speaking about the idea behind shooting for the cover picture, the American said,

“Being black and being on the cover was really important to me. The success of one woman should be the inspiration to another, and I’m always trying to inspire and motivate the black girls out there. I’m not a model. I’m not the girl next door. But I’m not hiding. Actually, I look like a lot of women out there,” Serena said.
