As Sweta Daboo frames it, Tuesday was the last day that there had never been a woman of colour in the job of vice-president of the United States. As of yesterday there is now precedent. This will be normalized and this is something incredible to look forward to, said Daboo.
Daboo is a woman of colour living on P.E.I., and the the executive director of the P.E.I. Coalition for Women in Government.
