If I get three wishes to ask for from genie, I would have happily asked for one, and that one thing is the attitude Serena Williams holds in her inner self. I mean look at her confidence, boldness... I am really in awe of the warrior princess.

She is totally her own boss and I am so much inspired to be that badass confident person.

Hello again, London. @NikeCourt #stealtheshow

Let's look at those 5 times when she didn't give a damn and listened to her heart because why should we live on someone else terms until we are not harming anyone.

1.

When French Officials banned her from wearing Catsuit dress while playing so Serena Williams decided to wear a custom-designed Tutu instead and my eyes can see a Barbie in her, she is slaying it.

Catsuit anyone? For all the moms out there who had a tough recovery from pregnancy—here you go. If I can do it, so can you. Love you all!!

You can take the superhero out of her costume but you can never take away her superpowers'- said team Nike after the incident, and I can really feel the thunder.

Thank you to the incredible @virgilabloh

When Serena Williams was trolled for her eyebrows and just her one cool Instagram post boosted everyone's morale to shut the mouth of haters.

And,

To this, when one of the trolls wrote that Serena "looks like a man", Harry Potter author J.K Rowling came in her defense and tweeted to a troller: "Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot."

Once, Serena Williams declined to play in Indian Wells tournament when she faced racial slurs and no apology from the organizers, after a long wait of 14 years she returned back in 2015 because she wanted to speak out against racism and make people aware.

"I needed to go back there and speak out against racism."

What would I do without all your support? I love you all!!

When she openly shares her thought about her struggles with post-pregnancy. She thought she is not a good mom.
And sharing it with billions of people is bravery in itself. Every woman feels proud when they see you playing tennis after the pregnancy.

Last week was not easy for me. Not only was I accepting some tough personal stuff, but I just was in a funk. Mostly, I felt like I was not a good mom. I read several articles that said postpartum emotions can last up to 3 years if not dealt with. I like communication best. Talking things through with my mom, my sisters, my friends let me know that my feelings are totally normal. It’s totally normal to feel like I’m not doing enough for my baby. We have all been there. I work a lot, I train, and I’m trying to be the best athlete I can be. However, that means although I have been with her every day of her life, I’m not around as much as I would like to be. Most of you moms deal with the same thing. Whether stay-at-home or working, finding that balance with kids is a true art. You are the true heroes. I’m here to say: if you are having a rough day or week--it’s ok--I am, too!!! There’s always tomm!

But no, it's not like that Serena, you are really a good mom... it happens with everyone and it's actually normal.
You are the motivation for your daughter and for every woman around the world...

I've Never Been The Right Kind Of Woman. Oversized And Overconfident. Too Mean If I Don't Smile. Too Black For My Tennis Whites. Too Motivated For Motherhood. But I Am Proving, Time And Time Again, There's No Wrong Way To Be A Woman."
