Netflix released the official teaser for the Naomi Osaka documentary series. The series will concentrate on Naomi’s journey, her struggles of being in the spotlight and her upbringing. As reported by CNN, the director, Garrett Bradley, is presenting Osaka’s life within a snapshot.

“The series is about Naomi’s journey, within a snapshot of her life,” Bradley said. “But it’s also about life’s purpose, about personal worth, about the courage that it takes to allow one’s personal values to inform their work and vice versa.”

According to CNN, Osaka says in a press release that she has taken her platform for granted.

“I feel like the platform that I have right now is something that I used to take for granted, and for me I feel like I should be using it for something,” Osaka said. “I believe, instead of following, you have to make your own path.”

The release of the series is set for July 16.
