While Venus and Serena Williams have made sports history on the tennis court, they’ve also made history beyond it.

AfroTech previously reported the sisters were the first Black women to become minority investors in an NFL team after securing a stake in the Miami Dolphins. WOW!!!! THIS PUT TEARS IN MY EYES.

Wow, I didn't know they had stake in a football team! 😲🤩 As someone posted on Twitter (included in article), "Genius athletes that got into team ownership after retiring...Serena & Venus Williams" Genius move after retiring! 🏆 I agree!

They dominated tennis, 🎾🎾 made millions, 💰💰💰💰💰💰 retired still in their prime, and bought part of a very well known football team!! 🏈 Well done, ladies!!! 👑👑

In 2009, it was estimated that the team was worth $1.2 billion, per Statista. As of August 2022, the Miami Dolphin’s valuation soared to an estimated $4.6 billion, according to Forbes. WOW!!!

Oh, I didn't know they had their own line of clothes, nutrition company, investment firm - wow, and even sunscreen line! WOW! 👑🙌🏽🙌🏽💰💰💰

In addition to team ownership, Venus and Serena have steadily flexed their entrepreneurial muscles over the years in other areas.

What a beautiful picture! 2 Heroes. 2 Icons. 2 Activists. 2 Peacemakers. 2 Humanitarians. 2 Angels. 🙏🏼💘🙏🏼💘

Both now in Heaven together.

Mr. Harry Belafonte & Reverend Dr. Marting Luther King, Jr.

Mr. Harry Belafonte, was such a humanitarian. 🙏🏼😢😢💘🏆
I grew up listening to his music. His songs have been immortalized in many movies, "Beetlejuice" is one of them. 🙂
May he rest in peace. 🙏🏼🌹

Harry Belafonte, Music Legend And Civil Rights Activist, Dies

The “King of Calypso” never stopped speaking out for progressive causes.

🌟Everyday Heroes 🤩

At 78 years old, J.R. Harris may not fit the stereotypical image of an active wilderness explorer, 🏕️ but the Louisiana-born adventurer has been devoted to the pursuit since he set off on his first excursion in 1966, and he has no plans of stopping anytime soon. In addition to hiking mountains, 🗻 river rafting, 🏞️ and traveling to remote villages across the globe, Harris spends his time visiting public schools 🏫
to encourage students to follow their dreams. ✨✨

The father of two is remarkably humble when asked about his status as a role model, but there’s no denying he leads by example: He’s the founder of the oldest African American-owned research and consulting firm in the country, has explored at least 60 countries, written a book, and delivered a TEDx talk.

“I don’t try to inspire anybody, and I don’t try to specifically mentor anybody,” Harris explained to Nice News. “What I like to do is encourage people, especially young people, to broaden their horizons, to think bigger in terms of their future, and to not let people discourage them from having a dream and wanting to live it.” 🏆
