Venus Williams Joins Canadian Vegan Platform PlantX As Investor & Ambassador<\/span><\/h1>\n

Tennis champion and entrepreneur Venus Williams has joined plant-based e-commerce platform PlantX<\/a> as an investor and ambassador in an effort to help the company raise awareness about the benefits of plant-based foods and encourage consumers to shift to a plant-based lifestyle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canada-based PlantX, which offers over 10,000 plant-based products across the food, beauty and clothing sectors, announced its partnership with plant-based advocate Venus Williams and as a PlantX ambassador, Williams will promote the company\u2019s mission of helping everyone easily transition to a plant-based diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Willams, who has seven Grand Slam titles, five Wimbledon titles, and four Olympic gold medals to her name, was diagnosed with Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s syndrome, a condition where the body\u2019s immune system attacks its own healthy cells many years ago. To recover from the effects of the condition, and to get back to her professional tennis career, Williams adopted a plant-based lifestyle in 2011 and since then, the diet has proved beneficial for her, with the champion athlete crediting it for her successful return to tennis. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This led Williams to launch her own vegan protein firm, Happy Viking<\/a>, which provides a range of yellow pea and brown rice protein blends. The products contains omega-3 fatty acids and gut-friendly prebiotic fiber. Featuring a combination of Complete Body Mind Macronutrients (CBMM) and inspired by Williams\u2019 post-workout recipe, her shake will soon be available to buy on PlantX\u2019s e-commerce platform in Canada and U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a press release seen by Green Queen<\/em>, Williams said that she is thrilled to be partnering with PlantX. \u201cIt is the first marketplace of its kind and I wish it had been around when I was transitioning to a plant-based diet over a decade ago. Living a plant-based lifestyle has improved my quality of life and I am looking forward to working with PlantX to help others learn about the benefits of living plant-based.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Queens<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Furthermore, through this partnership, Williams will share her own journey with having a plant-based lifestyle and will curate a list of her personal favourites from the PlantX product portfolio under a special section called \u201cVenus\u2019 Favorites\u201d, promoting it on her social media channels as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the first marketplace of its kind and I wish it had been around when I was transitioning to a plant-based diet over a decade ago. Living a plant-based lifestyle has improved my quality of life and I am looking forward to working with PlantX to help others learn about the benefits of living plant-based<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus Williams<\/cite><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PlantX founder, Sean Dollinger said: \u201cVenus\u2019 success as an elite plant-based athlete is incredibly inspiring. I am thrilled that our values align so powerfully in a way that can encourage people to give plant-based living a try. Our partnership with Venus aims to celebrate these values and raise awareness of the benefits that a plant-based lifestyle can provide.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

After expanding to the U.S. late last year<\/a> with its online platform, PlantX\u00a0will be opening brick-and-mortar retail stores in locations like San Diego, CA; Canada; and Israel, and has plans for future franchises across North America.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Serena Williams<\/a> managed to carve out a bit of family time as well while in the Eternal City over Mother’s Day weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tennis legend was seen stepping out for ice cream with her husband Alexis Ohanian and their three-year-old daughter Olympia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serena and her little girl stuck to ice cream cones while Alexis, who co-founded Reddit, opted for a cup of what may have been gelato.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alexis cut an ultra-casual figure in a Nike t-shirt and a pair of shorts while Selena added a designer touch to her look with a Gucci bag.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the moment Serena is in Rome in order to play tennis in the Italian Open which began this Saturday and concludes next Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Serena <\/a> <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She posted an Instagram snap of herself on Saturday practicing at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in the French Riviera presumably just before going to Italy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In October of last year Serena revealed on Insta Stories that little Olympia has been signed up for tennis lessons herself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However she was to be instructed by neither her mother nor by her aunt Venus who is also a tennis star, according to Serena’s posts at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact Serena shared that the teacher they have chosen at that point had ‘no idea’ that her new pupil is the daughter of a world-famous athlete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She also said she would leave the lessons immediately after dropping Olympia off so as not to be an ‘overprotective’ or ‘distracting’ influence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However by January she posted a sweet Instagram snap of herself looking on lovingly as Olympia practiced her tennis moves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serena Williams shares a close-knit bond with F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton. The tennis sensation and her friend, who has a similar stature of greatness in the field of motorsports, frequently pay tribute to each other on their respective social media platforms. Naturally, when Hamilton got to an unheralded landmark today, Serena<\/a> wasn\u2019t going to miss out on the opportunity to send her best wishes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mercedes driver notched his 100th career pole position at the 2021 Spanish GP<\/a>. He is the first driver to ever achieve this feat in the history of F1. Serena congratulated him through her Instagram Stories<\/a>. Alongside a poster of the driver, she wrote \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCongrats @LewisHamilton on making 100 Poles!!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Serena Williams admires the \u2018champion\u2019s mindset\u2019 of Lewis Hamilton<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 23-time Grand Slam champion has previously attended a few F1 races to support Lewis Hamilton<\/a>. She believes that he\u2019s the numero uno of motorsports \u2013 \u201cHe is for me the greatest driver that our generation has seen.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The two of them share an interpersonal connection. Her achievements, on and off the court, have always inspired<\/a> Hamilton. On the other hand, Serena\u2019s been motivated by his mental and physical preparation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLewis and I are super close. I\u2019ve known him for years. I love that guy. He\u2019s a really good friend of mine. The guy is such a champion, has such a champion\u2019s mindset. I look at what he does training, physically, his job, it\u2019s really no words for it, to be honest,\u201d<\/em> Williams had<\/a> said last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is not the first time she\u2019s acknowledged Hamilton\u2019s statistical milestones either. She previously backed him to break<\/a> the Grand prix win record of Michael Schumacher<\/a>. Also, the Briton wears his heart on his sleeve; something that resonates with Serena.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Williams sisters are two professional American tennis players: Venus Williams<\/a> (b. 1980), a seven-time Grand Slam title winner (singles), and Serena Williams<\/a> (b. 1981), twenty-three-time Grand Slam title winner (singles), both of whom were coached from an early age by their parents Richard Williams<\/a> and Oracene Price<\/a>. There is a noted professional rivalry<\/a> between them\u2014 between the 2001 US Open and the 2017 Australian Open tournaments, they met in nine Grand Slam singles finals. They became the first two players, female or male, to play in four consecutive Grand Slam singles finals from the 2002 French Open to the 2003 Australian Open; Serena famously won all four to complete the first of two “Serena Slams”. Between 2000 and 2016, a 17-year span, they collectively won 12 Wimbledon singles titles (Venus won five, and Serena won seven). By winning the 2001 Australian Open women’s doubles title, they became the fifth pair to complete the Career Doubles Grand Slam and the only pair to complete the Career Doubles Golden Slam. At the time, Venus and Serena were only 20 and 19 years old, respectively. Since then, they have gone on to add another two Olympic gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics. Nearly a decade later, the duo would go on to win four consecutive Grand Slam doubles titles from 2009 Wimbledon through 2010 Roland Garros, which would catapult them to co-No. 1 doubles players<\/a> on 7 June 2010. Two weeks later, on 21 June 2010, Serena would hold the No. 1 singles ranking, and Venus would be right behind her at No. 2 in singles. Their most recent Grand Slam doubles titles came at the 2012 Wimbledon<\/a> and 2016 Wimbledon<\/a> events. They remain very close, often watching each other’s matches in support, even after one of them has been knocked out of a tournament.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both sisters have been ranked by the Women’s Tennis Association<\/a> at the world No. 1<\/a> position in both singles and doubles. In 2002, after the French Open, Venus Williams and Serena Williams were ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, marking the first time in history that sisters occupied the top 2 singles spots in the world rankings. During the 2010 French Open<\/a>, they became the co-world No. 1 players in women’s doubles. On 21 June 2010, Serena and Venus again held the No. 1 and No. 2 rankings spots in singles, respectively, some eight years after first accomplishing this feat. At the time, Serena was three months shy of her 29th birthday and Venus had just celebrated her 30th birthday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both players have won four gold medals at the Summer Olympics<\/a>, one each in singles and three in doubles\u2014all won together\u2014the most of any tennis players. Venus has also won a silver in mixed doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics. As a duo, they have also completed the Career Golden Slam<\/a> in doubles, twice. Between the two of them, they have completed the Boxed Set<\/a>, winning all four grand slams in singles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles. They won all of the mixed doubles titles in 1998 to go along with their titles in singles and women’s doubles<\/strong><\/p>\n
