no better way to say it than...
“we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.”
Kamala Harris is the first Black woman to become VP.
This is HER story.
This is HISTORY.— Chiney Ogwumike (@chiney) November 7, 2020

“Daddy I met a Vice President and a President” I told my son he also met a family man and a grandpa. I was asked to come over to meet his family and he treated my son like his own. We will remember that forever. VC: @11AliveSports pic.twitter.com/BEh1HaQjly
