What Kamala Harris means to Indian Americans
Kamala Harris, the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, became the first Black and South Asian American woman to run on a major political party's presidential ticket after presumptive nominee Joe Biden announced her as his VP pick on Tuesday.Indians around the world were quick to celebrate the news, and Harris' meteoric rise has caused many of them to sit up, take notice and feel seen. To me, Harris is more than a woman who knows her mind, rallies behind important issues like marriage equality or immigration and grills powerful figures on the Senate floor. She's someone to look up to. She's also someone I can relate to when she talks with Mindy Kaling about storing spices in recycled coffee jars.
