She went on to say that she makes it a point to show her girls “powerful” demonstrations on television and revealed the following:
The moment Venus and Serena Williams compete in a tennis match, I make it a point to ensure that my girls see them.

She continued by saying, “That is an incredible gift.”
During this time, Pompeo’s first daughter has reached an age when she is interested in learning about her mother’s artistic endeavors and history.
