Kamala Harris is the first woman vice-president. She is the first black vice-president. She is the first vice-president of South Asian descent.
She was the first HBCU graduate to be elected vice-president.
She was California’s first Black and first South Asian female attorney general.
She was just the second Black woman and the first South Asian woman to enter the U.S. Senate when she was elected in 2016.
And she will be the first woman president!
She takes being first as an honor and a responsibility.
Harris lives by a piece of advice from her mother: “You may be the first to do many things, but make sure you’re not the last.” During her acceptance speech for the vice presidential nomination, she recognized other women’s achievements throughout history: “I reflect on their struggle, their determination, and the strength of their vision to see what can be, unburdened by what has been. And I stand on their shoulders.”
Kamala Harris is going to be a great president!
