#repost @sfchronicle California Sen. Kamala Harris’ historic ascension to vice president-elect is more than a datapoint for the history books it’s a moment that will resonate deeply and throughout generations. Harris, 56, is the first woman ever to be vice president, or to be part of a winning presidential ticket. She’s also the first Black person and first Asian American to be vice president. ... Especially for women and women of color, Harris breaking down those long-standing barriers is transformative. There’s still racism and sexism in every place you find yourself if you’re a Black woman, said Rep. Barbara Lee, an Oakland Democrat who has backed Harris in campaigns for more than a decade. This is what African American women, women of color fight for every day, and that’s to be seen and to be heard. And I feel like now, I’m seen and I’m heard in a way that I’ve never been seen and I’ve never been heard before. To read more, click the link in our bio.
