Venus Williams has inspired millions of people across the world. Young girls learning to hold a tennis racket look up to the 7-time Grand Slam champion. Moreover, for anyone looking to make a name for themselves against the odds, Venus continues to motivate them through her story.

However, her success did not just “come to her”. It didn’t appear overnight, either. According to Venus herself, in her new announcement, it came from her energy. Her accolades, her titles, came from focusing that energy in one direction.

This is what she advocates for a new generation of children. Self-development through the sport of tennis is Venus Williams’ new project.

In Venus Williams’ latest announcement on her Twitter, she announced that she is partnering with Clif Bar and the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program. The HJTEP is a not-for-profit organization that offers tennis lessons at low costs to inner-city kids.
