00:00To all the moms out there, you know, I was playing free today.
00:06Hi.
00:14I have three F's, so it means Serena, sure, and strong.
00:31The dream still lives, and my dream is equal opportunities for everyone.
00:38It's important to get the message out there to our young men, to our boys, to our daughters. Let's stop this.
01:30I think what people don't realize is how violence really affects not only your family, but your friends, your neighbors, everyone. And it's… I'm going to stop there.
01:43Yeah.
01:57I've been body shamed basically since I've been in the public eye. I didn't like who I was. But as I got older, I understood that this isn't me, and my body, it's creating all these opportunities for me.
02:40We had a lot of complications, but look who we got. We got a baby girl.
02:53After having a baby, it's definitely not easy to come back to playing professional sports, and I'm trying to do it in six months.
03:04I was like, not if I'm still playing. You know, I'm going to win. It was totally ridiculous. You know, I was still on medication, but I don't think I ever actually lost that competitive side.
03:14I just feel like to tell all the moms, if I can do it, they can do it. You can be whatever you want to be.
