Williams’ voice could be heard over the loudspeaker as models took to the runway in items from her ‘Serena Williams Signature Statement’ collection.

She is black
She is Brown
She is White
She is Green
She is Red
Without Color
She is Woman
I saw her walk
Upright and Tall
When she moves
Everyone watches
Her footsteps
She leads the way
Your eyes follow
Your heads turn
She Is Woman

Confidence engulfs her
Love encompass her
Pity moves her
Goodness embraces her
Her smile is as captivating as the sun
She never doubts herself
She is woman
