On November 28th, former tennis star Serena Williams took to social media to offer an update and reflection on her mental health journey. In the post, she opened up to her fans about the difficulties and triumphs of motherhood. She wrote, “I am not ok today. And that’s ok to not be ok. No one is ok every single day. If you are not ok today I’m with you. There’s always tomorrow. Love you.”
Williams' vulnerable post received an outpouring of support from fans. One user wrote, “Thank you for being open about your feelings. Your honesty is appreciated. Remember to practice self-compassion and reach out to loved ones when you need support. Together, we can get through the challenging moments. Sending you virtual hugs and encouragement.”
Another added, “Millions need and needed to hear this. God bless you and yours.” A third said, “I hope you feel better lady. You’re absolutely right. It’s ok not to be okay sometimes, and to acknowledge it. But, here’s the thing. Put on some feel good music and do the running man throughout the house. It just might lift your spirit.”
Although the 42-year-old Michigan native had a difficult day, she managed to find a silver lining just a few hours later. She posted a selfie of her and her youngest daughter, Adira River, with her sleeping baby swaddled in a polka dot blanket on her chest. Williams captioned the photo, “This makes me so happy.”
Williams' touching post resonated with many. It's a powerful reminder that it's okay to not be okay and that it's important to reach out when we need help.
