Tennis goddess Serena Williams, 34, is ending 2015 with an impressive resume. This year alone she completed her second “Serena Slam,” released her new HSN statement collection at New York Fashion Week, showed off her incredible strength and beauty by posing (almost) nude in Pirelli’s 2016 calendar and, on Tuesday, December 15, awarded the high honor of becoming Sports Illustrated’s 2015 Sportsperson of the Year. Williams, the first solo female athlete to win the award in thirty-two years (since 1983), gave a moving acceptance speech encouraging female athletes everywhere to push their limits and be the “best you can be.”
