Venus Williams talks about striking the right balance

During a recent interview, the seven-time Grand Slam champion opened up about whether single life is celebrated and supported. Talking about this, she said, “I’ve had a single life for a long time and I think it’s really easy to get stuck in a single life and sometimes, at least for me, harder to get out of a single life. So that’s probably something I’m working on now.”

Further, she added, “I guess for other people, like they were running to a relationship which has never been my thing, per se. So we’re all different. This is how I work and function and I’m okay with it. You can’t hold on to either a relationship or to singleness, you have to be able to move with the time. And even if you don’t want to or aren’t ready, you just gotta go with it.”

Further, the brand plans to utilize these funds to expand its portfolio by launching new products in this category. The motivation behind starting this company was Venus’ diagnosis of autoimmune disease in 2011. The superfood ingredients helped her to recover quickly from the disease. Hence, Venus plans to communicate the benefits of these products through her brand and promote their use.
