VENUS WILLIAMS' FATHER DEFENDS HER
Check out this powerful moment in 1995 when Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Venus (@venuswilliams) and Serena, stepped in to protect teenaged Venus as a reporter (@ESC_JohnM on X) challenged her claim of confidence against opponents.
Williams’ intervention and representation in Oscar winning film King Richard is a great example of Black fathers’ involvement in their children’s lives, helping to debunk the stereotype of absent or negligent Black fathers.
His unwavering support was critical in shaping Venus and Serena into two of the greatest athletes the sport of tennis has ever seen.
What do you think of their father’s approach? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
