Hi Venus, I’m so happy to have found you on Youtube. You’re such an inspiration and at the same time you have made yourself relatable to everyone by sharing your thoughts and experiences. I really appreciate all that you have to say!

In terms of tennis, I wonder if you could speak about the types of fitness training you did in your childhood? …I’m specifically curious about the very early years of your tennis journey such as when you were 5-10 years old, etc. Thank you!

Yes. Your post match interviews should be examples used as training material. The swagger, calmness while being assertive you demonstrated and continue to demonstrate is what I try to work on. It's applicable to everyday life not just tennis. How you never lashed out at some of the offensive line of questions is admirable. You are a pro at shutting down rude questions - eloquent and to the point.

"Alot of people who are toxic, they dont necessarily want alot of resistance" this was a powerful video 💯🙌🏽

You and Serena are the BEST example of overcoming toxicity absolute strength over all those toxic people.

Toxicity can ruin people spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. Values are a must.

Very well said! I really love the self elimination aspect of the topic. It's painful but necessary. Thank you for your insight.

The fact that Venus Williams goes through all these comments and gives it a like, interact with her fans here is so beautiful and sign of importance and togetherness with her.

I am from Kenya and in her videos i feel like i am listening to her while seated with her in the same room.

Her wisdom is God given. Bless you ❤

I would love to learn more by seeing a video on working with toxic people in your life to make it work and go in a positive direction without being too abrasive and at the same time not being controlled or taken advantage of.

I always love ❤️ venus 💕 and serena especially Venus. She never tried to be what she isn't. A woman of integrity and her high cheek bone that always looks exotic. You still shines. You are the perfection of a nubian Queen 👑✨🙏

[carlobenedetti]

So right. Make it immediately clear about our essential and ineludible values at the first or second date with a person. It will save both of you a lot of time and energy.

Thanks Venus! I have family member that when I call them out and be truthful they would say something like “now I feel bad 😢”. They instantly become the victim! I can’t wait for part 2!

Hey V, you're 100% correct, toxic people are like the roaring lion in the Bible prowling around looking for someone to devour, and like you said you have to stand up for yourself! Or else they will devour you just like in 1 Peter 5:8 👍👍

[MultiMatty]

Wow! Your spoken delivery is special. I appreciate your clarity and calmness! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

[PatekGirl]

Yes, please do a video on values. They are the foundation for better boundaries.

[OC_Hans]

Pleaseeee continue to touch on this subject. I have been struggling with creating barriers with my toxic relationships and its detrimental to me in the end.

You inspire me on and off the court, Miss Venus Ebony Williams ❤❤❤

[RJLNetwork]

Unfortunately we all have to face toxicity in our lives whether its directly aimed at us or indirectly aimed at something or someone we support. I just do my best to not let it get to me, but yes it can be very tough to deal with. I concentrate on the good things i do and on my friends that believe in the same things. I feel that if you let toxic people steal your joy, you cannot feel the happiness in the things that makes you smile. Its hard not to take things personally, but i do what i can to move forward and keep my happiness level up. I love you Queen V! 😍
