Venus Williams's father schools white journalist on how to interview a 14-year-old Black girl (1995)

It’s Venus checking her nails in an unbothered fashion for me 💅🏽🙌🏽

I love how he immediately advocated and stood up for his daughter. All black girls and women need to see that.

trynna chip at her self esteem & insert doubt/insecurity 🙄

Good ! The importance of having parents that believe in you, especially black parents. They will make you feel bad for believing in yourself, having confidence and goals because they don’t want a black child excelling.

This is why all children need and deserve a strong father figure.

I bet that journalist never asked a black child a question like that ever again

Why? Why, little girl, do you believe in yourself? Don't you think that's a bit foolish? Don't you think you should leave my sight and go sit still and be quiet somewhere?😒

Good for him. She should not have to justify her greatness when she’s said it enough. And look at those sisters today: CONFIDENT

This is what so many people want to call abusive when it comes to black men protecting their family and themselves.

Thank GOD For Great, Loving Fathers. Thank GOD For Great Loving Black Fathers - Especially those Raising Young Black Diamond Queens like Venus and Serena Williams. GOD Bless Mr. Richard Williams.
