Serena Williams endorses Selena Gomez and her mother Mandy Teefey's mental fitness brand Wondermind after investing $5 million in company

Serena Williams has endorsed Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey's mental fitness brand Wondermind.

Gomez and her mother Mandy were recently in attendance at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, Texas. There, the 31-year-old singer and actress spoke at length about the reason behind creating Wondermind, which is branded as the world's first mental fitness ecosystem.

"It honestly stemmed from a conversation that we both had with each other and it was about our journeys and we ended up relating a lot to each other and it was a turning point and I think it was more like 'how can we do that for other people?,'" Gomez said.

She also said that the idea of Wondermind came from her and Mandy wanting to facilitate open conversations between mothers and daughters.

"It just stemmed from us really wanting to help other moms and daughters to have like real open honest conversations that turned into this," Gomez added.

Former WTA World No. 1 and 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena illiams took to social media to endorse Wondermind. She shared the video of Gomez's speech at the SXSW conference on her Instagram stories.
