Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian, just announced he’s giving up his seat on Reddit‘s board … and he says it’s all in an effort to help the black community.
The 37-year-old — who co-founded Reddit 15 years ago — said in a powerful video statement Friday he’s urging the company to now give his spot to a black candidate.
Ohanian also announced he’s donating any future gains he obtains on his Reddit stock “to serve the black community” … beginning with a $1 MILLION donation to Colin Kaepernick‘s Know Your Rights Camp.
“It is long overdue to do the right thing,” Ohanian said. “I’m doing this for me, for my family and for my country. I’m saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks, ‘What did you do?'”
Ohanian added, “I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership for people in power right now, and to everyone fighting to fix our broken nation, do not stop.”
Ohanian famously married Serena back in 2017 … shortly after having their daughter, Alexis Olympia.
FYI … Ohanian, per a Forbes article on Serena in 2019, has a net worth of an estimated $70 million.
