Naomi Osaka's grandfather once disowned his own daughter for falling in love with a Black man. Years later, he watched his granddaughter win the US Open and cried.
Naomi's mother, Tamaki, fell in love with Leonard François, a Haitian-American man. Her father, Tetsuo Osaka, opposed the relationship. He reportedly considered it a disgrace to the family because Leonard was Black and not Japanese.

Naomi Osaka's grandfather once disowned his own daughter for falling in love with a Black man. Years later, he watched his granddaughter win the US Open and cried.
Naomi's mother, Tamaki, fell in love with Leonard François, a Haitian-American man. Her father, Tetsuo Osaka, opposed the relationship. He reportedly considered it a disgrace to the family because Leonard was Black and not Japanese.
Tamaki refused to abandon the man she loved. She chose her relationship over her family's approval, and the couple moved away from Hokkaido. For years, she remained estranged from her father.
Then came Naomi.
The little girl born out of that relationship grew up to become one of the greatest tennis players of her generation. In 2018, when she won the US Open, the same grandfather who had rejected her parents watched her on television and wept.
He eventually became one of her biggest supporters. And in 2021, he expressed a wish for Naomi to open a tennis school in Nemuro, the very town her mother had to leave because of his prejudice.
Why should Naomi be expected to give back to a community whose values once made her own mother feel unwelcome because of the colour of the man she loved?
Why should she be expected to build opportunities for people in a society that treated her parents' love like a disgrace simply because her father was Black?
Racism doesn't become acceptable because the people involved eventually reconcile. And a few tears at a tennis victory don't erase the pain, rejection and humiliation that came before them.
Naomi owes nobody a tennis school. She has already overcome enough to become a global champion.
If she chooses to build one, let it be because SHE wants to, not because people who once rejected her family's existence now want to benefit from her success.
You cannot reject a family because of the colour of their skin, celebrate the success of the child they raised, and then act entitled to the fruits of that child's greatness.

Court documents from Amber Heard’s fierce defamation battle with Johnny Depp exposed damning allegations against Jason Momoa.
Heard accused her Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom co-star of arriving on set intoxicated and deliberately masquerading as her ex-husband to torment her.

Court documents from Amber Heard’s fierce defamation battle with Johnny Depp exposed damning allegations against Jason Momoa.
Heard accused her Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom co-star of arriving on set intoxicated and deliberately masquerading as her ex-husband to torment her.
The explosive claims surfaced via raw therapy notes from Heard’s psychologist, Dr Dawn Hughes, which were weaponised as evidence during the trial.
The notes bluntly stated: “Jason said he wanted me fired. Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.” Heard insisted Momoa calculated this wardrobe choice as a cruel psychological tactic to destabilise her.
DC fiercely rejected the accusations. A spokesperson slammed the claims, stating Momoa maintained absolute professionalism throughout the production.
Furthermore, a production insider embedded on the 2021 London set completely debunked the narrative.
They clarified that while Momoa enjoys an occasional beer, he never filmed drunk, adding that his look was merely his signature bohemian style—not a Depp imitation. Both camps have refused further comment. See less

A high school student from Virginia has designed a water filter that removes nearly 96% of microplastics from drinking water — without using a filter membrane at all.
Mia Heller, from Warrenton, Virginia, got the idea after reading about microplastic and PFAS contamination in local water and watching her mother constantly replace expensive membranes in the family's home filtration system. She wondered whether plastic particles could be pulled out of water a different way.

A high school student from Virginia has designed a water filter that removes nearly 96% of microplastics from drinking water — without using a filter membrane at all.
Mia Heller, from Warrenton, Virginia, got the idea after reading about microplastic and PFAS contamination in local water and watching her mother constantly replace expensive membranes in the family's home filtration system. She wondered whether plastic particles could be pulled out of water a different way.
Her answer was ferrofluid — an oily liquid packed with tiny magnetic particles. When it is mixed into water, microplastics stick to the oil. A magnet then pulls the ferrofluid, along with the captured plastic, back out of the water. In her tests, the system removed about 96% of microplastics, and roughly 87% of the ferrofluid could be recovered and reused.
Her compact prototype, about the size of a bag of flour, earned a special award at the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.
Important context: this is a student prototype tested in the lab, not a product you can buy. It would need more testing for safety, scale and long-term performance before it could be used in homes or treatment plants.
Still, it's a brilliant example of how a curious teenager with a simple idea can take on one of the planet's biggest pollution problems.
