Family Time Amidst Turbulent Times
Serena, who shares Olympia with her husband, Alexis Ohanian, seemed to be cherishing every moment at home with her little girl. Just a few days before this heartwarming video, Alexis made a significant decision to step down from the Reddit board in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests following George Floyd's tragic death. It’s clear that both Serena and Alexis are using their platforms to create meaningful change, even while spending quality time with their family.
Alexis Ohanian’s Powerful Decision
During a candid conversation with Serena on her Instagram series “Serena Saturday,” Alexis opened up about why he chose to resign. He explained that his daughter, Olympia, inspired him to give up his seat on the Reddit board so it could go to a Black candidate. “I wanted to put as much weight behind the gesture as I could because I felt I owed it to you and I owed it to her,” Alexis said. He wanted to go beyond just posting on social media or making a donation; he wanted to make a real impact.
Alexis, who also announced he would donate future gains from his Reddit stock to fight racism, emphasized the importance of using his influence for good. “I thought about what those dollars could do for a community that has clearly suffered for far too long,” he told Serena. It’s clear that Alexis is committed to creating a better, more equitable world for his daughter and future generations.
Alexis also shared how heartbroken he feels knowing the world his daughter is growing up in is filled with racial injustice. “She is such a pure... just blank canvas,” he said lovingly. “She only knows love. There is not an ounce of hate in her body.” It’s moments like these that remind us of the importance of raising our children in a world that values equality and compassion.
Parenting Challenges and Triumphs
Since Serena and Alexis welcomed Olympia in September 2017, just before tying the knot in November, they’ve been nothing short of devoted parents. However, Serena has admitted that balancing her career with motherhood hasn’t been easy. In an interview with Forbes in August 2019, she opened up about how much she misses her daughter when they’re apart. “You know, it’s hard. Sometimes my heart literally aches when I’m not around [Olympia],” she confessed. Yet, she remains committed to both her professional and personal life, inspiring countless moms around the world.
