40,000 Black women leaders in politics, business and entertainment met on Zoom call to rally around Kamala Harris .

For many, Harris seemed to be the one woman to break the glass ceiling of reaching the highest office in the US .

Bipartisan support, an aggressive and energized campaign with a huge funding arm from several groups supporting Harris wasn’t enough to overcome the second election of Trump .

Shavon Arline-Bradley , president and CEO of the National Council of Negro Women , said Harris ’s campaign of inclusion and strong support from the Democrats ’ most loyal voting block Black women could not withstand “the wall of white nationalism and racism and sexism and misogyny” New Orleans resident Laureé Akinola-Massaquoi , 36 , said that Harris being the Democratic nominee for president, meant a more equal, progressive future for all of America .
