44,000 Black women raised $1.5 million for Kamala Harris in 3 hours on a Zoom call that crashed the online meeting platform

A Zoom event with 44,000 Black women supporting Kamala Harris reportedly raised $1.5 million.

The organizer, Jotaka Eaddy, was dubbed the "Olivia Pope of Silicon Valley" by Forbes. Donations have surged since Joe Biden announced his exit from the race and endorsed Harris. The #WinWithBlackWomen network, founded by organizer and strategist Jotaka Eaddy, hosted a Zoom call for Black women on Sunday that garnered 44,000 participants and raised over $1.5 million for Kamala Harris' newly launched presidential campaign, Bloomberg reported.

Eaddy, the CEO and founder of social-impact consulting firm Full Circle Strategies, is known as the "Olivia Pope of Silicon Valley," Forbes reported. She previously worked as a fintech executive at LendUp and a strategist at the NAACP.
