She is a strong advocate for women’s empowerment and strives to bring about positive societal change. Through sharing information from diverse sources, she uplifts women and recently addressed a myth circulating during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing the truth.
In addition to providing information, Williams also supports multiple businesses run by women through her venture capital firm, Serena Ventures. One of the companies they have invested in recently achieved a significant accomplishment and enhanced their operational capabilities.

The Queen of the Court does not keep her knowledge and wealth to herself. Williams is passionate about sharing it to support the growth and success of other women. One way in which Williams seeks to empower women is by providing accurate information. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a false belief that women were becoming less driven in their careers. However, Williams, along with former COO of Meta, Sheryl Sandberg, shared the Women in the Workplace 2023 report, which disproves this belief.
