Serena Williams and husband Alexis Ohanian show their support for sister Venus; wish her success on launch of her new book “Strive”
Follow UsSerena Williams wished sister Venus Williams success on the launch of her new wellness book ‘Strive: 8 Steps to Find Your Awesome’. The 23-time Grand Slam champion was also joined by her husband Alexis Ohanian to support Venus Williams’ latest endeavor.
Apart from turning author, the seven-time Grand Slam champion is also an entrepreneur. She is the founder of a plant-based protein company Happy Viking, a design firm V Starr, and an interior design platform Palazzo.
This is Williams’ second book release. Her debut book titled ‘Come to Win’ was launched in 2010.
Venus Williams took to Instagram to share a short video on what “fulfillment” meant to her and that the book outlined how to achieve it.
“I’m so excited to finally share that my new book, STRIVE, is here! It’s been such a journey putting all my experiences and lessons into words, both from life and from the tennis court,” Venus Williams wrote on Instagram.
“My biggest hope is that STRIVE inspires you to take action and embrace your own path—because greatness isn’t about luck; it’s about showing up and going for it every day. Let’s keep striving for our best selves together. With love, Venus.”
TrendingSerena Williams re-shared a part of the video on her Instagram story and tagged her sister.
Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian took to X to share words of encouragement for Williams along with details of where to buy the book.
“LFG Sis,” Alexis Ohanian wrote for Venus Williams on X.
Through the book, Williams shares the wisdom, collected over her 3-decade long career, with the readers. She was last seen on-court as a wildcard entry at the 2024 Indian Wells and the Miami Open.
Venus Williams recalls sister Serena Williams’ support after being diagnosed with autoimmune disease
Former World No. 1 Venus Williams struggled both on and off court in 2011. She was forced to retire from the third round of that year’s Australian Open and was later diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Sjorgen syndrome mid-way at the 2011 US Open. It was the first time that the American exited the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam event.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Venus recalled her sister’s support at the time and the two of them signing up for a wellness retreat together to manage her condition. Venus Williams shared a hilarious incident where the sisters longed for a steak and escaped for a night.
“We went to the opening lecture, looked at each other and decided we should go out to a restaurant,” she said. “We had steak and chocolate cake – I don’t even eat dessert! We were staying for three weeks, so we knew this was it!”
Both sisters follow and advocate a plant-based diet.
