Serena Williams expresses her anger at being undervalued and paid because of race
Serena previously said she is an "undervalued" and "underpaid" black woman, Briefly News reported.
Williams has been a star tennis player for over two decades and has never been afraid to speak out. The 39-year-old said she loves being a voice for millions, helping women and standing up for people.
Being in the position that she is, Williams believes previously disadvantaged people do have a voice.
The mother-of-one has never been a person that did not like who she is and what she looks like. Serena likes how she looks and loves representing women of a darker skin tone.
In a cover interview with British Vogue, Williams said she wants to "change the narrative" regarding women not being taught or even being expected to be leaders.
Marie Claire reported that Williams said that black people now have a voice and thanked technology for the ability to see things that have been hidden before.
