“It’s really just about following people of color and women and giving them the same opportunities,” she said.
During the inaugural Invesco QQQ Legacy Classic at the Prudential Center this weekend, Serena Williams partnered with actor Michael B. Jordan to donate $1M to one HBCU student winner of the Legacy Classic HBCU Startup Pitch Competition.
“We see a lot of venture companies investing in a lot of people, but it’s really just about following people of color and women and giving them the same opportunities,” she said during the live broadcast on TNT.
Serena’s older sister Isha Price and her niece both graduated from Howard University and this really cemented Serena’s connection with historical Black colleges. It’s all about shining a light and giving the same opportunities to people of color and women for the 23-time Grand Slam champion.
