Serena Williams Extends Opportunity Fund Commitment

Tennis icon, fashion and jewelry designer Serena Williams is extending her support of Opportunity Fund.

Throughout February, a portion of proceeds from Serena Williams Jewelry will benefit Opportunity Fund’s Small Business Relief Fund, directly supporting Black small-business owners.

With the creation of jewelry that reflects Serena’s positivity, determination and generosity comes a renewed commitment to the community, emblematic of her unstoppable desire to support others in a meaningful way. Purchasing a necklace or bracelet from Serena Williams Jewelry Unstoppable collection not only enhances a woman’s accessory wardrobe but also gives her a sense of empowerment by helping others.

Serena’s Instagram presence this February pays tribute to Black women whose strength, courage and vision have changed the course of history

  • Mary Mahoney, the first licensed black nurse in the U.S.
  • Gwendolyn Brooks, the first African American woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for poetry
  • Mae Jemison, physician and the first Black astronaut to fly into space
  • Janet Collins, the first Black prima ballerina at the Metropolitan Opera.

Serena Williams Jewelry Unstoppable collection is available here.
