In a Stirring Note, Serena Williams Reaffirms Strong Beliefs Imbibed From Mother Before Announcing an Exciting Offer for All Her Fans

The world will forever remember Venus and Serena Williams. The sisters were among the most dominant forces in women’s tennis across the 2000s and 2010s. Thanks to Reinaldo Marcus Green’s 2021 film, King Richard, the world now is well aware of their father’s role in their development. Few though give any importance to Oracene Price, the mother of the iconic duo, who had a huge role to play in their climb to the pinnacle of women’s tennis.

In a recent Instagram post shared by S by Serena, Serena Williams’ successful clothing brand, the tennis legend shed light on Oracene Price’s influence on her and Venus. The 41-year-old also claimed that she was going to teach young Olympia everything that she learned from her mother.

When Venus and Serena started playing tennis at a tender age, people of color tended to steer clear of the sport. The undercurrent of racial discrimination affected the Williams sisters as well. It led to them being pulled out from participating in tournaments by their father. Their mother, Oracene Price, however, prevented it from derailing the sisters’ dreams.

In the Instagram post, Serena wrote, “My mom instilled in us to be confident women, to really believe in ourselves, be proud of our heritage, our hair, and our bodies.” She went on to write, “That was something that was really important for her to teach us. I’m definitely teaching it to my daughter.”

The passionate post also announced some great discounts on gifts for mothers. It featured the caption, “We’re celebrating motherhood in style. 🤍 TODAY ONLY 🤍 search “mother” on our site for specially-priced GOAT gifts for mom. The GOAT in your life will thank you! 🐐”
