In a dazzling display of power and grace, the legendary Serena Williams has once again captured the hearts of her fans, this time not on the tennis court but on the cover of Glamour magazine. Named one of two Global Women of the Year alongside actress Pamela Anderson, Williams continues to conquer new territories with her unwavering spirit and determination.
“The GOAT may be done with tennis, but she has her sights set on a new kind of international domination,” writes the magazine, setting the stage for a profile story by Mattie Kahn that delves deep into the multifaceted life of this iconic athlete. From her struggles with postpartum depression to seeking parenting advice from Selena Gomez’s mother, Williams bares her soul in a candid interview that reveals the vulnerable side of a woman who has long been viewed as a superhuman force.
Captured in a stunning photo shoot by Josefina Santos and styled by Christine Nicholson, Williams radiates confidence and sophistication in outfits from top designers like Loewe and Stella McCartney. With accessories including Christian Louboutin shoes, Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and her signature Audemars Piguet watch, she exudes a sense of power and elegance that is truly unmatched.
Since bidding farewell to professional tennis two years ago, Williams has shifted her focus to entrepreneurship, both for herself and for others. Discussing the growth of her beauty line, Wyn Beauty, and the success of her venture capital firm, Serena Ventures, Williams proves that her ambitions know no bounds. With investments in over 85 companies, including fourteen valued at $1 billion or more, Williams is a force to be reckoned with in the business world.
But perhaps the most striking revelation in the Glamour profile is Williams’ admission of her struggles with postpartum depression. Opening up about her experiences after the births of her daughters, Olympia and Adira, Williams speaks candidly about the challenges of motherhood and the importance of self-care.
“You never know when it can happen,” she reflects. “It could be a month; it could be a week. It could take a year for things to settle down a lot. We are the vessels of increasing the population, literally. It’s really just keeping a positive environment and giving yourself grace and understanding.”
As Serena Williams continues to shine in her new role as a business mogul and mother, her legacy as a trailblazer both on and off the court only grows stronger. With a fierce determination and a heart as big as her talent, Williams proves time and time again that she is a force to be reckoned with in any arena she chooses to conquer.
