Quote of the day by Serena Williams: 'It doesn't matter what your background is and where you come from, if you have dreams and goals, that's all that matters.'

From practicing on cracked public courts in Compton to becoming one of the greatest athletes in history, Serena Williams built a career defined by resilience, ambition and perseverance through grief, racism, injury and illness. Her story remains a powerful reminder that background does not define potential, and that dreams can survive even in the most difficult circumstances.
