Tennis legend Serena Williams revealed that Zigazoo, the world's largest social network for kids, is the one social media application that she allows her to use.
"As a parent, I of course worry about my kids one day getting on social media," Williams said in a video shared on her own X account last week. "As an investor, I am always looking for technology that helps navigate that. Zigazoo was designed literally with kids well-being and safety at its core. And the best part is my comfort when my kid uses it. She can make videos, she can make trending sounds and interact with friends in a safe and moderated environment."
Williams, 43, who is an investor and has endorsed Zigazoo since 2022, credited the social media application's creators, Zak and Leah Ringelstein, for providing a safe space for younger users.
"I feel like Zigazoo is solving one of the world's biggest problems by actually giving kids safe training wheels so to say for the digital lives and really protecting the most precious among us," she added.
Williams and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, share two daughters, ages 7 and one. The 43-year-old is widely regarded as the greatest female tennis player of all-time, retired in 2022 with 23 career Grand Slam singles titles, the most of the Open Era and ranked as the world No. 1 singles player by the Women's Tennis Association for 319 weeks, including a joint-record 186 weeks.
