“My mother, who raised me and my sister, was a proud woman.

She was a brown woman.

She was a woman with a heavy accent.

Kamala Harris victory speech

She was a woman who, many times, people would overlook her or not take her seriously.

Or because of her accent, assume things about her intelligence.

She would be beyond proud today.”

Kamala Harris and her mother

I’m the same age as @KamalaHarris and also a lawyer and politician.

I cannot tell you how proud I’m of you, your sister and your dear mom.

Congratulations and God Bless!"

We are overjoyed that Kamala will be the VP" (viaTwitter).
