Serena Williams husband shared an emotional yet inspiring tweet

Ohanian champions gender and racial equality through his social media platform. According to a figure quoted by Ohanian in the People magazine, only 9% of American firms give all male employees paid paternity leave, and 76% of men go back to work within a week of having a baby or adopting a child. Ohanian claims that the stigma of our culture and the socialization of men to be breadwinners are to blame for the lack of paternity leave. Serena Williams’s husband also notes that men’s sense of duty is frequently motivated by fear. He shared an inspiring tweet for all males yet again on Twitter.

On billboards in Palm Springs, Florida, he had praised Williams as the greatest mother of all time and supported her at Wimbledon.

Ohanian recently tweeted, ” What if I told you that you could be a Dad who works to be the Best at your career AND work to be the best for your family.” In 2019, he started advocating for federal legislation establishing paid family leave.
