A small Atlanta-based venture capital firm called the Fearless Fund, which was founded in 2019 by three Black women and had a high-profile grant program for Black women founders, was sued last year by a legal activist with a broad vision of a society in which we brush lingering racial inequality under the proverbial rug.
It’s a lawsuit that threatens to upend 50 years of progress, not just for Black women but for all women and minorities, according to Atlanta-based civil rights attorney Kianna Chennault, who joins The New Abnormal this week to discuss the Fearless Fund and the importance of fighting for diversity initiatives in the face of far-right pushback.
