'I was inspired by Anita Hill when I was deciding whether to testify, but it didn't occur to me at the time that I would be inspiring anyone else.'
Christine Blasey Ford made a rare public appearance Wednesday to accept an empowerment award and spoke about who empowered her to testify before Congress last year after accusing then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were teenagers.
Ford accepted the Empowerment Award from the Silicon Valley chapter of the YWCA in front of more than 1,400 people at a luncheon in Santa Clara, California. This is it! The 2019 Inspire Luncheon is kicking off. We are so excited to welcome more than 1,400 guest, inspirational speakers, and talented performers. pic.twitter.com/isB3gcGyxD
Multiple GoFundMe pages raised more than $700,000 collectively for Ford and her family in the weeks after her testimony. She closed one page that had raised more than $600,000 last November and said that money leftover after"completion of security expenditures" would be donated to organizations that support trauma survivors.
