The Incredible Serena Williams

Guest: Mikaela Dufur, PhD, Professor of Sociology, Brigham Young University Serena Williams’ more than two decades of tennis dominance has made her an icon. She’s redefined tennis as an athlete, a woman of color and, now, a mother. Just one year ago, she had her first child in an emergency C-section that was followed by a week-long medical crisis involving blood clots in her lungs and hemorrhaging in her abdomen. But as we speak on Thursday afternoon, Serena Williams is back on top of her game, playing in the semifinals at the U.S. Open.
