Shonda Rhimes ’91

Brunch & Rally

Rhimes attended a “Books, Ballots, and Brunch” event in Philadelphia aimed at black women voters. The television producer and writer told the audience about her years-long friendship with Harris and how the upcoming presidential election will affect black women in the U.S. 

Later the same day, Rhimes stopped at the 52nd Ward Canvass and Appreciation Picnic, where she talked about the importance of voter turnout. 

“In the 2020 election, 77 million registered voters did not cast a ballot,” Rhimes said. “And that number is considered to be lower than normal. That’s a really terrifying number.”
