When was Lyndrea Price Born?
Lyndrea Price was born in 1978 to Orascene Price and Yusef Rasheed. Price is very reserved, so specific information about her, like where she was born and her birthday, is not available to the public.
She is the youngest of her parents’ three daughters. There is no proof that her parents were married, but they had three daughters together, and Lyndrea is the youngest. Her two older sisters are Yetunde and Isha.
The three sisters were the only children of Oracene’s relationship with Yusef Rasheed. That is until she married Richard Williams in 1980. During their 22-year-long marriage, they welcomed the famous Williams sisters both within a year of each other. This makes Venus and Serena Lyndrea’s half-sisters. The sisters all grew up together in Michigan until the late eighties when they moved to California and then Florida.
Lyndrea is reportedly well-educated, but there are currently very few details on this. She was said to have attended a nearby high school in her Michigan community, after which she proceeded to college. The name of the college she attended and the degree she bagged isn’t made public.
Meet Lyndrea Price’s Mother, Oracene Price
Lyndrea Price is the daughter of Oracene and Yusef Rasheed. Her mother is a renowned tennis coach, retired nurse, and women’s rights activist. There is no information on who her father is but Oracene’s relationship with him ended in 1979 after he died from a heart attack.
A year later, Lyndrea’s mother met and married Richard Williams III, with whom she would later have world-class tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams.
Although Richard Williams never officially adopted Lyndrea and her sisters, he did take on the role of a father to the three of them and provided for them until their mother divorced him in 2002. By that time, Lyndrea was already an independent adult.
Oracene is still alive and healthy and is rarely absent from her children’s games. Like her daughter Lyndrea, this proud mother prefers to spend her life away from the constant flash of cameras. She also doesn’t have a presence on social media.
Are Venus and Serena Full-blooded sisters with Lyndrea?
Lyndrea and the Williams sisters share striking resemblances and a very close sisterly relationship. But they are not full siblings,s as already stated. While Lyndrea is the daughter of Oracene and the late Nigerian-American businessman Yusuf Rasheed, Serena and Venus are the products of Oracene’s second marriage to Richard Williams.
Venus was born in 1980, which makes Lyndrea two years her senior. Serena Williams was born one year after her older sister in 1981. Lyndrea is Serena’s junior by three years.
Serena and Venus are amazons in world tennis history. On the one hand, Serena has won 23 grand slam singles titles, making her the player with the second most titles in the world. Although Venus didn’t have as massive a career as her sister, she has also won an impressive seven grand slam titles.
Both sisters are incredibly wealthy and regarded as the best athletes of all time from the US. Recently, all three sisters were featured in a documentary titled ‘King Richard’, which told how Richard Williams coached his daughters to worldwide athletic success.
Did Lyndrea Price Play Tennis?
According to the biography reports on Oracene, it was said that she and Richard attempted to coach Lyndrea and her sister Isha into becoming professional tennis players. However, this wasn’t a successful plan, as Lyndrea had no heart for the game. She only played tennis for a couple of years, even up until college, but eventually gave it up to do something else with which she resonated more.
She hasn’t spoken much about whether she regrets not following through with her parents’ training, seeing how big Serena and Venus became. But it looks like Lyndrea has found complete fulfilment in a different path.
She is a Web Designer, Businesswoman, and Fashion Designer
Lyndrea Price is reasonably accomplished in her field. She is a reputable costume designer and has worked on several top Hollywood production sets. She has also been a web designer, designing fliers and logos for various brands.
Some notable companies she has worked with are Ember Lynn Designs and the sportswear line Suave, which she co-founded with her half-sister, Venus. She is currently working as a creative web designer for a company known as Wechatz. In 2022, Lyndrea’s net worth was pegged at $150k.
Lyndrea Price is Married to Vernon Imani
The beautiful Lyndrea Price is married to Vernon Imani. Very little is known about the background details of Lyndrea’s husband, but Vernon works as an assistant at the American Campus Committee.
The two were first spotted together in 2016 at an Instagram get-together party. While there was no official wedding announcement or pictures, an official document stating that Lyndrea had taken the Imani surname was enough proof that the two love birds had gotten hitched. They currently do not have any children.
