In a recently released video, Williams donned a pair of jeans, workboats, a hardhat and went to work on Salt Marsh Elementary School in Trelawny Parish, Jamaica. Williams, who has won a total of 39 Tennis Grand Slams – including Doubles titles, has also built grade schools in Uganda, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. Williams built the Marsh Elementary through a partnership with the nonprofit Helping Hands Jamaica, while the schools in Africa were in conjunction with Build Africa. — Black Press USA
The work is part of the mission of Williams' Serena Williams Fund and her other charitable efforts, which include the Serena Williams Venture, an organization that seeks to incest in companies that embrace diverse leadership, individual empowerment, creativity, and opportunity, reports Black Press USA.
According to the Helping Hands Jamaica website, the foundation seeks to improve the lives of the next generation of Jamaicans and their communities by creating a world-class education system through investment in infrastructure, resource materials and expertise.

Serena helps build schools for victims of Capitalism, Colonialism, and Racism.
almost a joke set, a Tennis player, a sport preferred by the Capitalist, Colonialist, and Racists- of all sports. I think only Golf, Polo, and Sailing are more capitalist, colonialist, and racist. If I would say ask Facebook or Reddit or something...
Except this tennis player is from South Central, and she earned her money the best way; beating the shit out of white girls. So, if the Queen wants to wreck Capitalism, she can go on with her badass self.
well yeah, that's why the joke don't really work...as a staunch worker socialist in favor of an overarching Capitalist economical structure, I'd like to separate Colonialism and Racism from Capitalism technically.. The latter two are really more totalitarian ethical systems controlling the economy vs various forms of capitalism (best explained by Marx himself)...just saying
