Serena Williams And Husband Alexis Ohanian Discuss His Decision To Step Down And Fighting For The Black Community

Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian are finally talking about his decision to step down from the board of Reddit and his request to be replaced by a black candidate. The couple had a recent chit chat on YouTube and they opened up on the issue.

Serena Williams also addressed reports that she forced her husband in making the decision. She said they spoke about the idea but it was all Alexis decision to give up his position and gains. “We talked about it a little bit and I remember telling you, “This is your decision to make ultimately.” Whatever you do I’m going to support you. This is not my decision to make, this is up to you. This is all Alexis, which is really cool. A lot of people might think I told you to do something, or that I forced you, or that I was in your ear, have you heard that? He doesn’t listen to me ever.”
Alexis revealed how being married to a black woman has allowed him to confront his white privilege, which at times has been uncomfortable and his effort to support the black community.
