Happy 65th Birthday to Billie Jean King...
Time flies.
But Billie Jean King has made the most of her time on this planet so far and her impact on the culture has been tremendous. She was the most focused of tennis champions and has used that tenacity in her off-court activism for equal rights for women and equal opportunity for everyone from the pro women's tennis tour to college campuses to the playground.
An amazing, amazing person. Her attitude about life, about fairness and achieving what you set out to do have stuck with me always.
Happy birthday to a great leader, activist and champion...
Here is video of a recent interview with BJK:
