Good morning, Broadsheet readers! WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani is leaving the company, supermodel Naomi Campbell was banned as a trustee from her nonprofit, and Ruth Umoh, editor of Fortune’s Next to Lead franchise goes inside the network of powerful Black women backing Kamala Harris for president. Have a meaningful Monday!

- A fundraising force. On Sunday, July 21, some 44,000 Black women gathered on a Zoom call following President Joe Biden's termination of his presidential reelection campaign and subsequent backing of Vice President Kamala Harris as the new Democratic nominee. 

Chief among the attendants were corporate heavyweights like Dallas Mavericks' CEO Cynt Marshall, the first Black woman to lead an NBA team; Shannon Nash, the former CFO of drone delivery service Wing; Susan Chapman, a former Amex executive and board director at Toast and J.M. Smucker; and Ulili Onovakpuri, a managing partner at the VC firm Kapor Capital.
