After announcing her retirement in 2022, Williams opened up about her next plans in an emotional essay that she wrote for Vogue. She said in her essay- “I have never liked the word retirement, It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me. I’ve been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people. Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution. I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me. A few years ago I quietly started Serena Ventures, a venture capital firm. Soon after that, I started a family. I want to grow that family.”

Serena Williams’s recent post about motherhood showcased that post-retirement she is truly busy managing her life with two beautiful daughters. Despite her liking towards fashion and beauty, Williams’s post represents what it is like to be a mother in reality.
