Now that he has a young daughter, he’s determined to help with the cause. “Olympia is not going to question everything Serena has done to make this world better for Olympia. I want to sit at that dinner table when Olympia’s a little older and feel like I’ve done my part, too,” he added. Alexis Ohanian admitted he hated tennis before meeting Serena Williams. READ: Kyrgios won’t compete at the US Open amid coronavirus concerns ‘I don’t know how she does it’ As the winner of 23 grand slam singles titles and one of the most dominant athletes — in any sport — over the last two decades, nobody can question Williams’ achievements. The narrative was always that she was an outsider, fighting her way up from the streets of Compton, just south of Los Angeles to challenge the hierarchy of a traditionally elite, white sport. There has been notable friction along the way. At the Indian Wells final in 2001, Williams’ father, Richard, and older sister, Venus, were booed as they made their way to their seats prior to the finale, with Richard claiming in USA Today he was the victim of racial abuse. “One guy said, ‘I wish it was ’75, we’d skin you alive,'” Richard Williams told USA Today. “I had trouble holding back tears. I think Indian Wells disgraced America.” Charlie Pasarell, then the tournament director, said in the same story that he didn’t discount Richard Williams was racially abused. More than once during our interview, Ohanian refers to the unseen challenges faced by both female and Black athletes. “I don’t know how she does it,” he says of his wife, Serena, who’s had to endure prejudice on both fronts, including a growing trend of abuse that such figures are now
receiving on social media. Williams and Ohanian with their daughter Alexis Olympia. Online racism Recently, several prominent English Premier League football players have told about the toxicity that is channeled directly to their inboxes. Having received threatening messages and images of the Ku Klux Klan from a 12-year-old boy, who was later arrested by the police, the Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha described a joyful platform that’s now wrought with fear. “I’m scared to even look up my direct messages. It could be filled with anything. For Black footballers, being on Instagram is not even fun anymore.” As one of the leading figures in the tech world, Ohanian has witnessed the rise of hate speech on the Internet; as Serena’s husband, he’s observed the damage it can cause. For professional athletes, who deserve every ounce of their success and who should be able to celebrate accordingly, it’s heartbreaking. He says that these athletes “didn’t get there just because their dad gave them the job and they’re CEO now. This is where we would hope as humanity to see the very best of us shine and then celebrate it.” He added, “It’s incredibly disheartening and discouraging to see the ills of this make the experience so bad for people who have demonstrably excelled.” In the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of the Minneapolis police in May, a movement
of racial awakening has swept the globe; Ohanian recognizes that he has a key role to play in that movement. As such, he resigned his position on the board of Reddit, urging the company he co-founded to replace him with a Black candidate. Writing on Twitter, he said, “I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power. I’m saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his Black daughter when she asks: ‘What did you do?'” He continued, “It is long overdue to do the right thing. I’m doing this for me, for my family, and for my country.” Ohanian holds Olympia while watching Williams at the Hopman Cup in 2019.

Ohanian says that the quarterback Kaepernick, who was the first prominent athlete to take a knee in protest of police brutality, is a friend. While the
