I am a junior at Howard University, and on November 5, I had the pleasure of voting for my alumna, Vice President Kamala Harris, alongside my mother and father. Although it was not my first time voting, it was my first presidential election.

Kamala Harris’ life as vice president took a 180-degree-turn in 24 hours, from her stumping for Joe Biden in Provincetown, an LGBTQ+ culture hub and haven, on Saturday, July 20, to becoming a potential presidential nominee on Sunday, July 21 when the news broke of Biden leaving the race.

There has been great excitement and renewed voter engagement since Vice President Kamala Harris rose to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket on July 21. And with good reason: Her candidacy not only injected a much-needed dose of optimism into the race; it also revived the possibility that voters will choose a new leader who is forward-looking, capable, and driven by the needs of working-class Americans.

From the time that Black women landed on American soil, their value has been minimized, marginalized, overlooked and forgotten by American society at large, their local communities in many instances, their houses of worship, and by their family members.

Vice President Kamala Harris has the vision, the intellect and the heart to lead a conversation about how to preserve American democracy. As a country, we are still struggling to make this “A more perfect union.”
