Remember when JK Rowling defended Tennis ace Serena Williams from body shaming haters on Twitter? Now Serena has tackled the nasty online comments herself during a stint on Good Morning America.

You might remember that after she won Wimbledon for the SIXTH time, Serena still had to endure comments about how she "was built like a man" from people. But she's not letting the negativity bring her down.

Serena, who is aiming to be the first woman to win a calendar Grand Slam since the 1980s, told GMA host Robin Roberts that she had learned how to love herself, despite the horrible comments from people.

“I've been like this my whole life, and I embrace me and I love how I look. I love that I am a full woman, and I'm strong and I'm powerful and I'm beautiful at the same time. And there's nothing wrong with that.”

Then she added this amazing comment. We're printing it out and putting it on our wall.

“I just don't have time to be brought down. I have too many things to do, you know. I have Grand Slams to win. I have people to inspire. And that's what I'm here for.”

YES Serena. Now go and win that Grand Slam.
