Venus has always been a class act and role model. And she looks GOOD.🎾👸🏾

[@Shea3224]

I Love Venus Williams, & her Sis Serena. They were my role models growing up, their bond is absolutely Beautiful. 💜

She's GLOWING✨️ - GORGEOUS!! What a Treasure 💎

[@sheldoncole7276]

Yeah straight up 💯

[@NM-it2vo]

I love how when she says "You are an icon -- PERIOD. Right??" She just nods like, "Yep." LOL. Love them. Venus and her father came to my middle school in Harlem when I was a kid (maybe ages 11-13 or so) and they were so amazing. They donated to my school, came to encourage the young women (who were indeed encouraged) and they were very authentic in their encouragement. Clearly, as I still remember it now many years later as an adult. As a child, I recall they gave Venus' REAL LIFE PHONE NUMBER to my class and one of my friends became a temporary penpal. What an awesome family, beautiful and hard-working and THOROUGH. LEGIT. True inspirations. Go, Williams Fam!!!! Love love love it. xxoxo

[@n0smada]

I am in awe of both Williams sisters. Their aura is hard to ignore.

[@jasonwhite8287]

I will say this, I have met Venus twice. People say don’t meet your “idols” I’m glad I met mine. She was incredibly nice and funny. Thank you for what you have done for the sport!

[@nnajiugochukwu3810]

you can tell they all respect her...the aura...

[@Cherchezlatrish]

I love this for Venus!!! As a person who grew up playing tennis myself and Venus and Serena being some players that I admired and looked up to who also are African American it’s great to see her get the love and appreciation! I honestly feel sometimes she gets overshadowed by Serena but she’s done a lot herself and is still doing big things always happy to see her do well in all endeavors!!!❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯👏🏾

[@POObumpoopo]

Venus changed tennis forever. For Serena and everybody else who came after her.

[@boukmananddessalines5522]

We love Venus Williams. 🌻👏🏾🙏🏾😘

[@renewilson2540]

Okay, I originally listened to this. I was half listening, thinking it was Serena. SMH, they sound so similar. I love these sisters and their accomplishments! Both are gorgeous and poised!

[@trevorlongley8995]

Venus is just so amazing and it’s a pity that her autoimmune diagnosis robbed her of what most likely would’ve been more career championships. People often forget that back in 2010 Venus made it all the way back to no. 2 in the world just behind Serena, and when she looked like she would compete for more Majors, the very next year she was diagnosed with the disease.

[@spencophany]

And then in 2017 she came all the way back to do 2 slam finals and maybe final 4 of each. And we thought she was on her way back to by the top because clearly she had still had the goods. But …it was not to be. So we had to just be gracious and grateful. Much love to Queen Vee.

[@ashton-leejohnson4758]

Facts. It doesn't get talked about enough..

[@sepherinaallard7584]

BEAUTIFUL SHOW…. INDEED IT IS A SHOW FOR ME… 🙏🏾🙏🏾🏆🏆🏆

[@Praise-Him2]

I remember when she made it to the finals of the Australian open and Wimbledon 2017! I was screaming for her, but to make it to the finals in Australia since 2003 was groundbreaking in itself. Knowing what she was battling it just shows us all that when you put the power of the mind front and center ANYTHING is possible. 😢❤

[@CJsKitchenJa]

😮😮I love Venus and watching Whoopi look at her like a proud mama. ❤

[@randydizon3431]

I cant wait to see venus back on the court. Dont forget people she has not officially retired yet and we still have a future chance of seeing her back on the big stage. Go venus!

[@JCole-fg3rr]

Maybe she has silently retired.

[@KingWill04]

@@JCole-fg3rr quite possibly. She’s ALWAYS said when she leaves the sport she would just walk away and no one would know.

[@JCole-fg3rr]

[@gwendolynhinson4496]

Venus is just so gorgeous!!!

[@PrettyEyesz]

She's so beautiful and I definitely want to purchase and read her book, especially because I unfortunately share the same autoimmune disease she has, and it would be encouraging and helpful to read how she deals with her daily struggles of living life with this particular autoimmune disease.

[@Darcey-t4s]

She looks 😍 better than Serena!!!!

[@dorisgreen311]

That's because, sadly, Serena felt she needed to alter her naturally beautiful features. Serena was equally as beautiful. With the confidence she exuded, I was disappointed that somehow she felt compelled or persuaded to irreparably alter her beautiful features. She will never look the same. I hate to say this as a HUGE fan of Serena, but it's difficult for me to look at her physical facial features without SMDH! It pains me to see someone I have so much respect for disrespect her natural beauty. If that makes sense

she was diagnosed with sjögren’s syndrome. she has talked about it plenty and isn’t avoidant about it all. maybe the hosts were for some reason, but i can’t speak to that. but that is definitely an interesting and integral part of the venus williams story. you should look it up.
