Today’s Hero: Billie Jean King. 🎾
Beyond the "Battle of the Sexes," she showed us that "pressure is a privilege." She didn’t just play the game; she changed the rules so everyone had a fair shot. A champion on and off the court!

Only in the supercool 1970s could Elton John instruct Billie Jean King in air guitar skills, while, at the same time, she instructs him in how to correctly hold a tennis racquet. Ah, what days... #EltonJohn #BillieJeanKing

A graphic with the name Billie Jean King at the top followed by the text: Tennis player Billie Jean King won 39 grand slam titles across the course of her career. A champion on and off the court, she is an advocate for equality, as she founded the Women’s Tennis Association, lobbied for equal prize money at the U.S. Open, and advocated for pay equality. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her advocacy work on behalf of women and the LGBTQ community.
