Serena Williams is far from your average mom. Beyond her legendary tennis career and business empire, she shines most brightly at home patient, loving, and fully present.
Williams sits in her living room with her 18 month old daughter, Adira Ohanian, gently guiding her through colors in French. But this isn’t just quality time. Serena is teaching her more than vocabulary; she’s passing on confidence, joy, and curiosity. With every little win, Serena lets out her signature “Come on!” the same electrifying cheer that once echoed across tennis courts around the world.
For Adira, though, the magic isn’t in the words, it’s in the moment. Just being with her mom, learning through love and play, is everything.
Adira may barely be walking, but she already knows how to respond in French, and she beams with joy every time her mom praises her. These little moments, filled with love and laughter, show how Serena is nurturing not just a curious mind, but a confident soul.
