Tennis star Serena Williams is speaking out after the New York Times published an article about her but mistakenly used a photo of her sister, Venus Williams. The Times has since apologized.
The article, published in the March 2 print version of The Times, discussed Serena's newest capital venture fund aimed at backing ideas from diverse creators. Titled "Tennis Star's Venture Firm Has Raised $111 Million," the article appeared in print with a photo of Venus Williams mistakenly labeled as Serena.
"No matter how far we come, we get reminded that it's not enough. This is why I raised $111M for @serenaventures.To support the founders who are overlooked by engrained systems woefully unaware of their biases," Williams wrote in a Twitter post Wednesday. "Because even I am overlooked. You can do better, @nytimes ."
