Debra Lee, the very first African-American to serve on Twitter’s board of directors, is stepping down from the function in August after more than 3 years, according to a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.

Twitter’s statement began the very same day AT&T revealed that Lee would be joining its board of directors.

“Twitter is a terrific company with a clear mission and strong leadership team,” Lee stated in a declaration. “I believe Twitter has a bright future, and I wish Jack and the entire company continued success.”

Twitter, like other tech business, has actually been slammed for not having enough variety on its board of directors. When Lee signed up with Twitter’s board in 2016, civil liberties activists applauded the business’s choice.

Lee is the previous chairwoman and CEO of BET Networks.Â
