Amanda Knox

had conversations with black women to help shape how that work was done.

And I'm just so proud to have been a part of that.

But Margaret Anandu, I'll say her name over and over and over again, was the visionary and went to the CEO of Goldman and said, let's do this.

David Solomon at the time was like, yes.

Wow.

And I think that speaks to the power of black women.

It does.

Who have, back to Oprah and Ayanna Van Zandt's conversation, having that holy yes, you know, because Margaret had that holy yes and she was determined and built something, you know, quite incredible and to be a part of, you know, helping launch that was something really like,

deeply powerful and impactful for me as a black woman yeah to just be a part of something so significant and of that magnitude that's incredible um there's been other funds like the fearless fund that had initiatives for black women founders um that received backlash did you guys hit any roadblocks or was it pretty smooth because she had been with Goldman Sachs for so many years it was pretty smooth because and it was before all of the attacks um

But it was pretty smooth and it was a great launch and the program invested.

And, you know, it's just amazing.

And these were large.

A lot of these are large scale investments as well.

So it was like large scale investments and projects that had direct impact that would impact black women.

across the board.

That is so cool.

You know, I think again, like, you know, when you look at, when you see like in that moment, I think that was in 2020, 21, 2021.

I get the years, like, you know, the COVID years, it starts to get, it starts mixing up.

But then you fast forward now and you see the attacks on the Fearless Fund.

You see the attacks.
