Serena Williams spoke out after noticing a questionable decoration at a New York City hotel.

"Personally for me, it doesn’t feel great," Williams said in her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Sept. 25.

Sha’Carri Richardson, Jordan Chiles, Chloe Kim, Madisen Skinner, Romane dikko, Beatriz Hatz and Nelly Korda are all part of the new campaign for NikeSKIMS alongside Williams.

Shıııııttt, if anything, when you're doing better than them is when the racism ramps up, since that's when the inherent "woe is me," self-loathing part of their psyche really gets bruised.
