Kerry Washington Dives into Tech Investment with Support for Black-Owned Social Media Platform

Kerry Washington, best known for her roles on the big and small screen, is now making waves in the tech world as an investor in Spill, a Black-owned social media platform. The platform, which focuses on fostering connections, culture, and commerce, is approaching its second anniversary with Washington’s financial backing.

Washington has been an active participant on Spill, regularly hosting live video sessions called “tea parties” for her followers. Alphonzo Terrell, the founder of Spill, praised Washington’s engagement with the community, highlighting her accessibility and knowledge on various topics. He emphasized that Washington’s involvement represents the kind of environment they aim to cultivate on Spill – one that promotes connection and authenticity.

The actress shared her motivation for supporting Spill, citing the platform’s emphasis on safety and prioritization of marginalized communities. She expressed pride in being part of a community that values honesty, creativity, and connection, especially for groups like Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA individuals who often feel overlooked in the digital space.

Washington recently hosted a voter registration-themed Tea Party on Spill, engaging her followers in discussions about the upcoming election and the importance of voter participation in driving social and political change.

Spill users, known as “Spillionaires,” can share posts combining text with images, GIFs, or videos. The platform offers features like the Spillboard for trending topics, live conversations, games, and tea parties to enhance user engagement.

Spill is available for download on both iOS and Android, providing a safe and inclusive space for users to connect, share, and engage with a diverse community.
