BREAKING : Olympia and Adira are teaching their mom, Serena Williams, just how tough her new role is — leaving her completely drained…Full Details
Serena Williams, one of the most accomplished athletes of all time, has long credited her parents for shaping her into the champion she became.

But in recent years, as she’s embraced motherhood herself, she’s gained a deeper understanding of the unseen strength it took for her mother, Oracene Price, to raise and support her through it all.
Having recently welcomed her second child, Adira, with husband Alexis Ohanian, Serena has opened up about the emotional and physical demands of being a mom. In a candid social media post, she referred to motherhood as a “thankless full-time job,” describing the exhaustion and selflessness it often requires.

“Far too often being a mom is a thankless full time job, with no time or energy left to care for yourself or move at the end of the day. I’m gonna thank my mom tomorrow for all she did for me -the things seen and unseen,” Serena wrote on X.

Serena has spoken about how her mother was the emotional backbone of the family, instilling resilience, values, and mental toughness. This has become clearer to her in motherhood, as she navigates the challenges of raising her daughters while reflecting on how her mom did it all while supporting their tennis careers.

Venus Williams has echoed similar sentiments, calling their mother the grounding force and moral compass of their journey. It’s a perspective Serena says she didn’t fully grasp until she became a mother herself-now seeing not only the visible efforts, but the emotional labor that motherhood demands.
