Sandra Broome-Edwards, 67, has worn pearls every day since early January.
“I’ve been sitting at home watching ‘Good Morning America’ with my pearls on,” she said. “It’s my way of acknowledging the momentous occasion that is coming.”
Broome-Edwards is one of more than 430,000 women who are members of a Facebook group called “Wear Pearls on Jan 20 2021.” The idea is to honour Kamala Harris, the country’s first female vice president-elect, who wore her signature pearls when she graduated from Howard University, was sworn into Congress, grilled Brett Kavanaugh, debated Vice President Mike Pence, as she received her COVID-19 vaccine and likely, again when she is sworn on Wednesday.
