JERSEY CITY Chella Mudhusam was born in Chennai, India, a small Indian village where Vice President Kamala Harris has ancestral roots. As the village chanted and celebrated her taking the oath for the U.S. office, Mudhusam reflected on the opportunities this opens for people of color.
On Sunday, Mudhusam was one of three local store and restaurant owners in India Square who shared their thoughts on Harris, a half Indian and half Jamaican woman. Harris became the first woman and woman of color inaugurated as U.S. vice president on Wednesday.
