SoCal’s own Serena Williams has once again shown the world what true greatness looks like, being named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. From the courts of Compton to the biggest stages in sports, Serena didn’t just play the game; she changed it. With 23 Grand Slam titles, she redefined what it means to be dominant. But her legacy goes far beyond the court. She has been a fearless voice for equality, a champion for women, a style icon, a businesswoman, a mother, and a global inspiration. Serena broke barriers and opened doors for future generations. She showed young athletes everywhere, especially girls of color, that greatness is possible and that they belong. Thank you, Serena, for being a trailblazer and a powerful example of strength, passion, and purpose. We are so proud to call you one of our own. 📸: Adrienne Raquel for TIME #SerenaWilliams #TIME100 #Trailblazer #USTASoCal #SoCalTennis
