Serena Williams

For the last 27 years Serena Williams has dominated tennis courts around the world. She will always be known as the greatest to ever do it. But the GOAT broke our hearts earlier this year when she announced her retirement from tennis. In an interview with Vogue Magazine, Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, revealed that she was “evolving away" from the sport. (Side note: She also kinda-sorta walked back that idea in October during an interview at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference.) Serena has shared that her post-tennis plans include focusing on her investment company, Serena Ventures. In addition, the seven-time Wimbledon champion debuted her S by Serena fashion line this fall during New York Fashion Week. But, as we see it, being the proud mother of Olympia has been her greatest joy. It led her to release her first children's picture book in 2022, “The Adventures of Qai Qai.” The story is about a little girl who learns to believe in herself with the help of her magical doll. No matter what you decide to do next, Serena, we will always believe in you.
