WATCH | Serena Williams stuns fans in new awareness campaign
Tennis superstar Serena Williams has unveiled a hidden talent while lending her name and voice to a Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, which is paying tribute to late Australian singer, Chrissy Amphlett.
“Yes, this put me out of my comfort zone, but I wanted to do it because it’s an issue that affects all women of all colors, all around the world,” the mother of one has explained in a post on Instagram, alongside a video of her singing I Touch Myself.
The 37-year-old, 23-time Grand Slam winner is topless in the video, with her hands covering her breasts as she urges viewers to “touch themselves”.
“Early detection is key – it saves so many lives. I just hope this helps to remind women of that,” Ms Williams wrote in the caption.
“The music video is part of the I Touch Myself Project which was created in honor of celebrated diva, Chrissy Amphlett, who passed away from breast cancer, and who gave us her hit song to remind women to put their health first.”
The project, which is for Breast Cancer Network Australia, reminds women to regularly self-check their breasts for lumps and irregularities.
Ms Williams’ followers applauded her video, thanking her for ‘reminding’ them to check themselves, while also commenting on her ‘amazing voice’.
