Common was privy to an intimate conversation with tennis icon Serena Williams for ESPN’s hour-long special The Undefeated In-Depth: Serena With Common. The two sat down to discuss Williams’ endlessly impressive career (including her 22 Grand Slam titles), the role of social activism in an athlete’s life, struggles with body image, sexism in sports, and her “blackness,” which at one time worked against her, but is now something that is embraced by fans and critics alike.
