Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian have always been conscious of their social responsibilities. Hence, they have made huge contributions to the people in need. Once again, Alexis Ohanian has given a shout-out to a charity that is working for the welfare of victims of wildfires in Hawaii.

Ohanian worked with this charity while running a $15 billion Reddit and contributing to the rehabilitation of victims of the Haiti earthquake. The Reddit co-founder has once again taken it upon himself to bring people to contribute to the ongoing climatic hazard in Hawaii.

How did Olympia dictate the decision of Alexis Ohanian to leave Reddit?

The Reddit co-founder left his brainchild back in 2020. He stopped working actively with the organization in 2018. However, he continued working as a board member till 2020. That is when he decided to step back from it.

The main reason behind this was his beloved daughter, Olympia. He wanted to set an example in front of her. Ohanian wanted her to see that he did not stay silent when the moment for his decision came. He vocalized his say and vouched for a black member to replace him on the board so that Reddit can have diversity.
