New York: "She turns her disappointment into triumph. Her grief into joy. Her rejections into approvals. If no one believes in her it does not matter. She believes in herself.
Nothing stops her. No one can touch her. She is woman." So said Serena Williams via loudspeaker on Monday as part of a female-power soundtrack for a runway show of her Serena Williams Signature Statement collection for HSN during New York Fashion Week.
Williams interspersed the long-form poem that she wrote and recited on the soundtrack with music from women only, including her buddy Beyonce's "Lemonade."
"I wrote it right after Wimbledon and during the Olympics, and I just was in this moment of I want to empower women," she explained in a backstage interview.
