How did Serena Williams affect this move?

Alexis Ohanian made people aware of it. He gave his wife, Serena Williams, for introducing him to this concept. He stated, “Admittedly, I had no idea what cord blood banking was until 5 years ago, when my wife introduced me to the concept before our daughter was born. Basically it is the process of securely and safely storing the cord blood (the umbilical cord and blood after a baby is born) so those critically important stem cells can be saved for future new use for the baby or a sibling.
