Description
Kamala Harris: Quotes to Live By is a life-affirming collection of over 150 quotes from one of the world's most admired, relevant and exciting public figures today. As the daughter of immigrant parents from India and Jamaica, she rose to become district attorney of San Francisco, attorney general of California, United States senator and finally to achieve the pinnacle of all her firsts: the first female Black and Asian-American Vice President of the United States. Throughout her distinguished career, she has been recognized for speaking the truth, standing up to the powerful, fighting against injustice and inequality and advocating for those who could not defend themselves. Her support for Black Lives Matter and women's rights, as well as healthcare and immigration, along with her courage and determination, has made her a powerful force in politics and on the world stage. 'But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.' Vice President-Elect acceptance speech, 7 November 2020 'We're experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a new coalition of conscience to the streets of our country.' First appearance as the nominee for Vice President, Wilmington, Delaware, 12 August 2020 'There will be resistance to your ambition. There will be people who say to you, 'You are out of your lane'. They are burdened by only having the capacity to see what has always been, instead of what can be.' Black Girls Lead 2020 conference, 1 August 2020 'Here's the truth people need to understand: To tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century, we must empower women and families. If we do not lift up women and families, everyone will fall short.' National Partnership for Women and Families Gala, 15 June 2017 'Mr Vice President, I'm speaking. I'm speaking.' Vice Presidential Debate, 7 October 2020
