Tennis star Venus Williams entered the limelight of the athletic world as a young girl, breaking barriers as she and her sister Serena dominated the sport. Venus, however, is no stranger to the demands and rigors of being a young athletic star, consistently expressing her confidence in her winning ability. In a resurfaced clip from a 1995 ABC News interview, an adolescent Venus is drilled with questions about her views on her competition by a reporter. After Venus shares that she feels "very confident” going up against a competitor, the white reporter asks her where her confidence might come from. “You say it so confidently, why?” He asked. “Cause I believe it,” Venus responded flatly. “You’re dealing with a little black kid and her confidence let her be, leave her alone!” When Richard Williams schooled a journalist on how to interview his daughter Venus 👏 pic.twitter.com/9EeWghBEQd — Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) July 3, 2020
