Serena Williams recently shared a message on the importance of prioritizing body positivity.

The tennis legend, who is pregnant with her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian, shared a post Friday that featured three photos of herself posing for the camera.

She then encouraged her followers to always build themselves up.

"Sometimes people close to you will try to take your joy - but it’s important to remember who you are and never be afraid to shine," Williams wrote.

Williams publicly announced her pregnancy right before the 2023 Met Gala. "Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala," she wrote alongside a photo of her and her husband.
