Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1591DM Venus Williams shares something that stopped Lewis cold: 45% of girls globally quit sports by age 14 because of low body confidence. Venus turned pro at that exact age. She talks about what identity really means to her, and it's not what you'd expect. It starts with being unapologetically yourself. Not waiting for permission. Not needing approval. She and Serena once laughed at a book series teaching resilience because they learned it the hard way, pushing their mile times down and beating the clock. Venus also gets honest about what it was like growing up African American in spaces where being proud of who you are wasn't always easy. Her message is simple: it doesn't matter what you look like. What matters is what's inside you and whether you let it out. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • Knowing your history, that can be as simple as knowing your family.

  • For me as African-American, there was a time where it wasn't easy to be African-American.

  • Maybe it wasn't easy to be proud of who you were.

  • So...

  • Different kinds of people have different experiences that could make it more challenging or less challenging to be proud of who you are.

  • Depending on where you are, you might get teased because of who you are, right?

  • So first of all, it's just embracing unapologetically who you are and what you look like.

  • This is me.

  • This is what you get.

  • This is my brand.

  • You know, sometimes that joke is like,
