- Serena Williams- Ranked as one of the greatest tennis players in history. Even with her great accomplishments, she is constantly receiving hate and horrible treatment. For instance at the 2018 French Open, they banned the “catsuit outfit” she had on calling it inappropriate. Another example is when Australian cartoonist Mark Knight drew an illustration of Serena Williams when she lost the U.S. Open to Naomi Osaka. The cartoon depicted her as the typical angry black women. Despite this Serena still preserves and sets a great example for black women.
- Simone Biles and Gabrielle Douglas are both gymnist that have participated in the Olympics. Gabrielle Douglas is the first woman of color of any nationality and the first African-American gymnast in Olympic history to become the Individual All-Around Champion. With their accomplishments both women show great representation of black women in sports. They also inspire so many young girls and women all around the world.
