Sisters in Alpha Kappa Alpha are celebrating
PIERCE COUNTY, Washington - The swearing-in of Vice President Kamala Harris shattered a number of barriers. Not only is she the first woman to rise to the office of vice president, but she s also the first Black woman and the first woman of South Asian descent.
For all those reasons and more, Harris is an inspiration to a whole new generation of future leaders: a reminder of what is possible in America. You can literally be anything you put your mind to, don’t let anything stop you. Kamala is obviously a huge inspiration to us, specifically young Black girls and you can do anything you want to do, said Mercedes Minor, a junior at Kentlake High School in Kent.
