She has also won five year-end Master Cups and 19 Premier category tournaments (6 Premier Mandatory, 6 Premier 5 and 7 Premier), as well as 21 Tier I and Tier II titles and a gold medal from the London Olympics in 2012 against Maria Sharapova.

Serena Williams: “More African American engineers in the tech industry”
Serena Williams would like more African American engineers in the US tech industry, as only 5% of engineers in the US are African American.
To help to solve this problem, Serena decided to invest in Karat, a Seattle-based startup valued at over $ 1 billion that has developed a human resources platform capable of conducting job interviews remotely. The goal is to have 100,000 African American engineers join the technology industry within the next decade.
Serena Said: “The tech industry is focused on solving some of the biggest global challenges. My goal is to ensure that solutions to these challenges are developed by all of us. There has never been a shortage of genius in America.
black: only limits to access and opportunities. That’s why I’m proud to partner with companies like Karat.” Founded in 2008, Serena Ventures is the player’s VC fund, which continues to invest in tech companies around the world.
