โ€œThe more I learned about the company, the more I learned, like, โ€˜Wow, this is literally me,โ€™โ€ Williams says of her decision to join the board of the popular site, where she admits sheโ€™s traditionally been more of a buyer than a seller.

โ€œPoshmark was built by a community of strong, independent women just like Serena Williams,โ€ said Manish Chandra, founder & CEO of Poshmark. โ€œAs both our company and community continue to grow, itโ€™s important that we bring smart and diverse new voices to the table, and we couldnโ€™t be more thrilled about what the future holds with Serena in our corner.โ€

โ€œPoshmark is disrupting retail by making shopping and selling social again, and I love working with a company that gives anyone an opportunity to become an entrepreneur,โ€ said Williams. โ€œIโ€™m also excited for the community to shop my Posh Closet for Charity, which will benefit a cause thatโ€™s very important to me.โ€

That cause is the Yetunde Price Resource Center (YPRCLA), the nonprofit Williams founded in the aftermath of her older sisterโ€™s 2003 shooting death. The organization โ€œoffers trauma-informed programs that promote individual and community-wide healing and resiliency,โ€ according to a statement.

To celebrate her new alliance with Poshmark, Williams has created a closet of some of her most recognizable designer favesโ€”with all proceeds benefiting YPRCLA. Picks from Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli and more are currently up for grabsโ€”but act soon; this opportunity to cop some celebrity style is going fast!
