Serena Williams Explains Why She Isn’t Celebrating Her Daughter’s First Birthday

The tennis champion is a Jehovah’s Witness, and recently explained that members of the religion don’t do the whole presents and cake thing. “Olympia doesn’t celebrate birthdays,” Serena said at a press conference. “We’re Jehovah’s Witnesses so we don’t do that.”

MOMMY

Kids humble us. The other day on a flight home Olympia had so much energy and insisted on running up and down the aisle. When I finally got her to calm down and sit still, she threw up all over me and in the aisle. #ThisMama wants to remind all mothers the importance of supporting one another through the highs, lows, laughs and tears. _ Share your own stories of motherhood with hashtag #ThisMama. I’d love to hear them!
