WATCH: New commercial celebrates the legacy of Serena Williams, narrated by Beyonce
Gatorade has featured tennis icon Serena Williams in its latest commercial.
Entitled "Love Means Everything," the commercial describes the true legacy of the 23-time Grand Slam champion as 'love'. It contains visuals of Williams' early days on the court, her dominance, her fashion statements, and moments with her daughter, Olympia.
The commercial, narrated by popstar Beyonce, chronicles Williams' journey and how she inspired an entire generation of young women to "always love exactly who you are."
"When the world writes her down in history, we'll begin where she started, at love. A love that started a movement. A movement to always love exactly who you are," Beyonce says in the commercial.
"(A movement) to always love being a proud black woman, a parent, a dreamer. To always love being you, the whole you," she adds.
