Stefanie Keenan / Getty Images for Vogue Conversations around Serena's weight change began last month, when she shared a few gym selfies that showed off her washboard abs, toned arms, and a noticeably thinner figure.

Tim Mosenfelder / FilmMagic On Sunday, the 43-year-old mother of two did what any woman would do if she saw a mirror while really feeling her outfit - she took a mirror selfie and shared it with the world. But the selfies seemed to trigger some people on the internet. View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @serenawilliams There were those who brought up Ozempic again...

Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com The conversations around Black women and hair have always been complicated for many non-Black people, when it's really pretty simple. Women in general love trying new hairstyles, but Black women in particular seem to receive the most backlash simply for expressing themselves. Whether it's the frequency at which we switch between styles, the colors we wear, the hair that we add or remove from our heads, the accessories we wear in them, or the actual look of the hairdos, it's often viewed under a negative light until someone else does it. It happened when Serena first hit the court sporting colorful beads in her hair, and it's still happening today with blonde hair that she's been rocking for over a decade.

I also believe this way of thinking is rooted in ignorance, in the sense that someone who isn't familiar with how deep-rooted experimentation with hair in the Black community is, and how it was once used to signify status, a way to take a political stance, and more. Deagreez / Getty Images Before I go on a tangent, let's get back to Serena! Outside of the backlash, the Olympian also had a string of supporters who rallied behind her: Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com Serena Williams / instagram.com It almost feels like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation because she was scrutinized for her physical build the majority of her career, because she was "bigger" than other women in the sport. Now that she's smaller, she's still being criticized. Eddie Keogh - The FA / The FA via Getty Images And while Serena has yet to address the negativity, I feel it's important to shine a light on these discussions that happen around women's bodies in hopes of changing the way we approach them. Now, I know people like to use the excuse that celebrities "signed up" to be judged, but there has to be a line. They are still human at the end of the day. They don't deserve hate or to live up to the ideas of them that you've created in your mind. So, can we all please try to practice discernment and kindness a little more?
