Serena & Venus Willams
As part of a planned African Tour, International Tennis champions, Serena
and Venus Williams are scheduled to visit Lagos from Tuesday 30 Octoberto Friday 2, November 2012 as part of the first leg of the recently
launched ‘Breaking the Mould’ (BTM) campaign, a women’s empowerment
initiative that has already garnered international support.
While in Lagos, Nigeria, the dynamic duo will inspire, motivate and mentor
a broad range of audiences through a series of supporting initiatives
which include a gala dinner, a tennis clinic and an exhibition match which
will also be the first time the sisters will pit their strengths against
one another on the tennis court anywhere in Africa. This will underpin
BTM’s mission to recognise and acknowledge the role that women play in
shifting perceptions and encouraging development on all levels across the
African continent.
