Plot

Follow the journey of Vice President Kamala Harris, the first black woman and South Asian American to serve as the Vice President. Now she takes on her most crucial role, as the potential President of the United States.

The American Dream is alive and well. Just ask Vice President Kamala Harris. A blending of Jamaican and Indian roots is clearly a colorful recipe for success. Yes, the road turned a bit rocky due to parental divorce when she was seven then moving to Montreal, Canada for her mother's university hospital job. The first-born child of a California research biologist and economics professor, Harris would also defy ethic stereotypes by earning a law degree from the University of California in 1989. From classroom to courtroom, Kamala Harris is now the first black woman and South Asian American to serve as U.S. Vice President. Law and order was her calling. It was a career highlighted by seven years as San Francisco's District Attorney then six more as California's Attorney General. Her first term in the U.S. Senate was cut short by the campaign. It makes sense that the girl who once attended services at both black Baptist churches and Hindu temples has espoused liberal policies on minority rights, immigration, gun control and climate change. Her first name certainly fits since in Sanskrit "Kamala" means "lotus" which is a flower than can rise from deep waters and re-emerge in full bloom. Vice President Kamala Harris has spent the best part of two decades in public life creating an outstanding work resume: the first Black woman to be elected District Attorney in California's history; the first woman to be California's Attorney General; the first Indian American Senator, and the first Black woman and first Asian American to be picked as a Vice President. Now she takes on her most crucial role, as potential President of the United States.
