Summary

Today, I am absolutely thrilled because we have a true icon on the show. She's not just a tennis legend; she's also a fierce entrepreneur, a champion for equality, and an all-around inspiration. Whether she's smashing winners on the court or breaking barriers in business, she's always pushing the limits and showing us what's possible. Venus has teamed up with Dove to raise awareness about the 'Body Confident Sport’ program — a first of its-kind online coaching program developed in partnership with Nike to build body confidence in 11-17 year old girls. Today she shares her passion for shifting the conversation from appearance to capability, and how her personal journey has given her insight to this issue.
