"I Always Wanted To Be Somebody" is the intimate and candid story of a girl who grew up in the asphalt environs of Harlem, skipping school, drinking hard liquor, stealing and fist-fighting but went on to break the color barrier in tennis and achieving the pinnacle of the sport by winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and become an inspiration for many future champions such as Billie Jean King, Arthur Ashe, Venus Williams and Serena Williams among many others.
