Serena and sister Venus will play to extend their modern Olympic tennis record and win a fifth gold medal at the Rio Olympics, which start on August 5th.

The world No. 1 shows off her new Nike Olympic dress and shares her belief that her growth from a public parks player in Compton California to Olympic champion shows we all have the power to defy labels.

It's all part of Mini USA's Defy Labels Olympic ad campaign that will air during the Rio Games.

"If I was talking to kids in Compton, I would tell them that no one can define you," Serena says. "No one can put a label on you. No one can say this is what you're supposed to do."

The ad reboots Mini USA's Defy Labels campaign that aired during the Super Bowl with Serena sharing some of the labels people have put on her in the past.
