“Ready to Serve” were the first words tweeted by the newly sworn-in Vice President Kamala Devi Harris, the first woman, the first Indian-American to become the second most powerful person in the United States, and by some accounts, in the world.
Emotional responses began popping up on social media when Harris raised her hand to repeat the pledge recited by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Jan. 20, 2021, on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, to mark what is being characterized as a historic victory by women around the country, especially Black women (Harris is part Black as her father is originally from Jamaica).
