Serena Williams BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Serena Williams is closing out 2025 at full volume with public appearances that speak louder than any serve ever could. Over the weekend, West Hollywood lit up with the star power of the Baby2Baby Gala, where Serena was the guest of honor and recipient of the prestigious Giving Tree Award. According to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, she was recognized not just as a sports icon but for her sustained advocacy in maternal health—a subject deeply personal to Serena after her own health challenges during childbirth. Alicia Keys presented Serena with her award, while her inner circle, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, basked in the glow, demonstrating once again Serena’s ability to bridge worlds—royal, Hollywood, and athletic. Ludacris performed, and the guest list ran long with names like Ciara, Kerry Washington, Olivia Munn, and Jessica Alba. This Gala wasn't just about star-gazing; it also raised an eye-popping $18 million to help children in poverty across the U.S., marking a significant philanthropic milestone for both Serena and the organization, as reported by IMDB and Bossip.
On social media, Serena continues to leverage her global voice. In a recent Instagram campaign, Ebony reports that she’s extending her partnership with the Bumble Fund, publicly inviting women entrepreneurs of color to pitch their businesses for investment. Serena’s passion for empowering underrepresented founders is no mere side project—at the America Business Forum in Miami this week, she spoke candidly about building Serena Ventures into an institution designed to outlast her on-court career. A Bloomberg-linked talk, shared on YouTube, spotlighted Serena’s vision for the future: investing in startups making a social impact, with a growing focus on artificial intelligence and women’s health tech. She made headlines for pointing out that if a startup doesn’t have an AI strategy today, her fund probably isn’t interested—underscoring her status as an investor ahead of the curve.
Even as the tennis world shifts, Serena’s legacy remains everywhere. The Express highlighted Aryna Sabalenka surpassing Serena’s on-court earnings record, but even this coverage is tinged with nostalgia for Williams’ unrivaled dominance in an era now evolving beyond her. Whether dazzling on red carpets, funding the next generation of women leaders, or tech investing, Serena remains an inescapable force, rewriting the narrative on what a post-retirement legend looks like—businesswoman, philanthropist, and untouchable icon all at once.
