Serena Williams

Serena Williams, to me, redefined what dominance looks like in sport. Twenty-three majors, 319 weeks at world No. 1, a partnership with her sister that started in Saginaw and ended at the very summit of the game; the numbers alone are absurd. But what I value most is her ferocity and resilience, the way she absorbed criticism, returned after motherhood, and kept reshaping expectations for women in athletics. Off court she has built a serious life as an entrepreneur and author. I think of her not in terms of trophies but as a study in how to compete and live without apology, on her own terms.
