Serena's Touchdown: Volunteering at Her Kid's School Outshines Wimbledon Triumphs

Serena Williams, the titan of tennis with an impressive seven Wimbledon titles under her belt, reveals a surprising passion that eclipses her triumphs on the court: volunteering at her daughter's school. In a recent interview with Byrdie for their digital cover story, the 42-year-old retired superstar expressed that nothing quite compares to the fulfillment she finds in contributing to her eldest daughter Olympia's educational journey.

The cover story delves into Williams' reflections on motherhood and her deep bond with Olympia, now 6 years old, as well as her experiences with her newborn daughter, Adira, born just last August. Williams shares, "Motherhood has allowed me to look at beauty through the eyes of my daughter, Olympia. We’re always experimenting with makeup together, and I think about how these moments will be part of both of our beauty journeys.

Beyond her role as a mother, Williams, now at the helm of her own makeup brand, WYN Beauty, hopes to set an empowering example for her daughters. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity and pursuing one's passions, stressing, "You don’t have to be the best as long as you do your best.

I also hope my daughters see how many different passions I have — from tennis to beauty — and learn that they can lead dynamic careers and lives across their many interests," she adds.

In a touching Instagram post last month, Williams shared a heartwarming snapshot of Olympia cradling her baby sister, Adira, captioned with, "Big sister hard at work with baby sis." The post garnered affectionate remarks, including one from Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, who quipped, "Name a more iconic duo. I’ll wait.
