Venus Williams shares something that stopped Lewis cold: 45% of girls globally quit sports by age 14 because of low body confidence. Venus turned pro at that exact age.

She talks about what identity really means to her, and it's not what you'd expect.

It starts with being unapologetically yourself. Not waiting for permission. Not needing approval.

She and Serena once laughed at a book series teaching resilience because they learned it the hard way, pushing their mile times down and beating the clock.

Venus also gets honest about what it was like growing up African American in spaces where being proud of who you are wasn't always easy. Her message is simple: it doesn't matter what you look like. What matters is what's inside you and whether you let it out.
