Serena Williams on Double Standards in Athletics | Amanpour and Company

Earlier this week, we brought you a rare interview about Williams’s plans for Serena 2.0 and her venture capital fund, which is investing in diversity. Williams also spoke with Christiane about her extraordinary life and career and her younger years, chronicled in the Oscar-nominated film “King Richard.”
