Serena Williams is understandably furious and has said that The New York Times “can do better” after the paper published an article about her accompanied by an image of her sister, Venus Williams. She added that “[no] matter how far we come, we get reminded that it’s not enough.”
The article was in reference to Williams’ venture capital firm, Serena Ventures, which has raised an initial fund of $111 million.
“This is why I raised $111 million for [Serena Ventures],” the uber tennis star tweeted. “To support the founders who are overlooked by engrained systems woefully unaware of their biases.
“Because even I am overlooked. You can do better.”
