Howard University senior Raya Henderson blends the iconic hits of two of the most famous Black women tennis players, Althea Gibson and Serena Williams, with Slowe's own backhand. From Howard until her retirement in 1924, Slowe achieved seventeen national title wins in women's singles and doubles tennis. Due to the color of her skin, however, the United States Tennis Association never acknowledged her dominance or allowed her to compete against her white peers.

Slowe believed most in the fortification of the mind and body brought on by committing one's self to being outdoors and preached this sentiment dutifully to her pupils. In the Junior High School Review, Slowe commented, "if you make the sky, the water, and the Earth your hobbies, you will become big in mind, strong in body, and an altogether better man or woman."
