Serena Williams: 'I am not ok today. And that’s ok'
The mother of two says no one is okay every single day and that is A-OK.
Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian welcomed their second child together three months ago and while she is loving life as a family of four, things aren't always easy.
The tennis star took to X (formerly Twitter) this week to share a heartfelt message with her 10-million followers.
"I am not ok today. And that’s ok to not be ok. No one is ok every single day. If you are not ok today I’m with you. There’s always tomorrow."
