Serena Williams even came close to death postpartum because the medical profession downplayed his suffering when he explained that he experienced what turned out to be a second embolism. Thanks to his insistence, the blood clot blocking his lungs was able to break in extremis before it reaches his heart, as he explains in a heartbreaking text published by SHE United States in April 2022, which concludes as follows:
“In the United States, black women are nearly three times more likely to die during or after childbirth than their white counterparts.

I know these statistics would be different if the medical establishment listened to the experience of every Black woman. »
After being No. 1 in the world for 319 weeks, including a record 186 consecutive weeks, winning 23 Grand Slam titles in women’s singles and being the only player to reach a career Golden Slam in both singles and doubles, it is therefore a new victory. for Serena Williams this time to give birth without too many fights.
