Jotaka Eaddy, founder and CEO of Full Circle Strategies, is a leader in social impact and political advocacy. Leading the movement #WinWithBlackWomen, she organized a total of over 44,000 Black women for a Zoom call about championing political causes and supporting Kamala Harrs as the democratic presidential candidate. Eaddy's work extends beyond elections though, as she tackles issues such as reproductive justice, racism, and economic inequality. Notably, she was instrumental in a national and international lobbying campaign that led to the abolition of the juvenile death penalty with the Supreme Court’s 2005 ruling on Roper v. Simmons. Reflecting on the work of #WinWithBlackWomen, Eaddy says, “We’re about the heart space, because it’s just as important to Black women to have a place where our hearts can flourish. Where we can be seen and heard.”
