Williams Sisters Encourage African Women To Play Tennis

The legendary Williams Sisters, Venus and Serena, are in Nigeria this week to promote women empowerment and women's tennis on the continent.

"We were able to break the mould and win a lot of grand slams and change the face of tennis ... when tennis was very dominated by white people. It doesn't matter what your background is and where you come from, if you have dreams and goals, that's all that matters,"Serena said.
