More info The sportswoman penned: "Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family." The American added: "I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me... I started a family. I want to grow that family."

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 9 ROCK HILL, S.C. - The surface of a professional-grade cornhole board - two feet wide and four feet long, give or take a quarter-inch, and made of birch or oak with a polyurethane finish - can change texture with the temperature.

Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player and founder of Serena Ventures. The opinions expressed in this commentary are her own. My life story is one of breaking barriers and championing inclusion, on and off the court. Coming up in a predominately White male sport, I have been underestimated and underpaid throughout my career. Now, as a venture capitalist investing in early-stage startups, I see myself in the Black female founders who are often counted out right from the start. The Black female founder begins her fundraising journey already down a match point. Black women face a unique set of challenges colored by misconceptions of both race and gender. Investors notoriously doubt female founders, typically focusing investment analysis on the potential risks and losses of female-founded startups. They often assume that women-founded companies are more likely to fail. With male-founded startups, investors take a more optimistic approach, focusing on … [Read more...] about Serena Williams: Silicon Valley is wrong about Black women entrepreneurs
