Source: (Photo by Tim Clayton/Corbis via Getty Images) / Getty Black excellence was in full swing this past weekend thanks to a line-up of events that left people cheering at the most and being proud to be Black at the least. It’s important to know that #BlackExcellence means many things for many different people. For some, it means being a good sport in spite of monumental resistance and ridicule. Take Serena Williams for example. Here’s a woman who’s had to endure every racist and sexist comment in the book during her tennis career, yet she still manages to be one of the greatest athletes of all time with countless Grand Slam wins. Many say Williams had to combat racism and sexism AGAIN at the U.S. Open final on Saturday when she played Naomi Osaka. According to The New York Times , Serena received a code violation when the chair umpire accused her of getting sideline instruction from her coach Patrick Mouratoglou. However, Serena vehemently denied that she cheated by getting instructions from her coach. Later, Serena lost a point playing Osaka and out of anger, she smashed her tennis racket. The umpire cited another code violation because of this and since it was her second, Serena lost a whole point. Her frustration at the umpire built and she demanded an apology for saying she cheated in the first place. But the umpire didn’t seem to budge. Eventually, Serena called him a “thief” for taking a point from her and with this remark, the umpire gave her a third code violation. Many people, including Serena herself, said that men have made far worse remarks to umpires, yet they don’t get penalized. Serena eventually lost the game to Osaka, but she remained a good sport. She congratulated Osaka and even comforted her when she started to cry because people were booing in the audience. One Black woman supporting another Black woman in spite of BS? #BlackExcellence at its finest. On top of all this, Osaka still played an amazing game, giving her #BlackExcellence kudos as well. And don’t think Serena is going to keep quiet about the double standard between men and women in tennis. She made a final statement to the press saying she wouldn’t stop fighting for women’s equality. Check out her tear-jerking inspirational words starting at the 8:38 mark below!

But fans at The Wireless Festival in England were vexed by Khaled and Asahd ‘s vacation time after he cancelled his scheduled performance hours in advance because of “travel issues.” Some fans have tweeted about suing the festival since Khaled wasn’t the only act to no-show. Cardi B , Trippie Redd , J Hus and Fredo were also promoted on the bill. Wait DJ Khaled ?

Source: Jacopo Raule / Getty Serena Williams was recently asked about the pressure she faces as the “one to beat” in every tournament she enters. “I always play everyone at their greatest, so I have to be greater.” “that’s what makes me great.” Whether she’s coming back from pregnancy or injury, she says “it doesn’t matter, these young ladies, they bring a game that I’ve never seen before. It’s interesting because I don’t even scout as much. Because when I watch them play, it’s a totally different game than when they play me Serena has embodied greatness for almost two decades, and her HBO video diary Being Serena , reveals how she’s been able to maintain for so long.

Source: Michael Simon / StarTraksPhoto.com Serena Williams is truly the goat. Her baby isn’t even walking yet and the ultra-athlete has returned to tennis and is dominating the French Open while still managing to find time to launch her clothing line, Serena . The 13-piece collection features everything from work to weekend, all with an athletic flair. The line has American classics with Williams’ touch: including denim, athleisure, and even a “motivational” section. The “S” featuring two tennis balls and logo’ing her brand stands not only for Serena but also around the concept of an “s” word. The 23 Grand slam title holder states, “Everyone can have an ‘s’ word. Mine is ‘sure.’ My mom’s is steadfast.’ A really good friend of mine who has been through a lot, her ‘s’ is ‘survivor.’” RELATED: Serena Williams Is Taking The World By Storm With A New Cosmetics Line Williams’ was eager to use her experience gained from two years of fashion school at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. The line has been in the works for the past two years, admitting, “in between there I got pregnant and had a baby, which took a little time, and then I got married, which I needed to spend time on that.” Source: Michael Simon / StarTraksPhoto.com She’s back with a force, giving us some 80’s vibes. She discusses her suit jacket with padded shoulders and states, “I love a shoulder pad. I put an extra one in mine to get a real structured, Balmain look.” She also complains about how much stretch is in jeans,”I feel like everywhere I go it’s just ‘stretch stretch.’ What happened to the amazing Levi’s? I wanted to bring that back.” With this being said, expect her jeans to have very little stretch. On the fit, she reasons, “I can fit in them. It’s enough [stretch] to get on and it fits very well. It brings the integrity of the jean back, and I feel that’s missing right now in all the jean collections.” The inaugural collection ranges from $40.00 for a logo t-shirt or high waist briefs to $215.00 for a gold and black anorak jacket . On the more pricey side, for the consumer that simply wants to support Serena, there’s an “S” logo pin for $14.99. The line goes up to XL in only some pieces, which I’m sure is dissapointing to her plus-size fans. There will be a series of capsule collection drops throughout the Summer and Fall, with over 75 styles ranging from $35.00 to $250.00. The collection drops today and here are the top 5 pieces that are in our checkout cart.
