Kamala Harris Action Figure by FCTRY |
Official headshot of (then) United States Senator Kamala Harris |
Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris has further shattered the glass ceiling that first prevented women from running for any political office
to now holding the next-to-the-highest ranking position in the history of the U.S.
government. This is a huge accomplishment for all women not only because Vice-President-elect Harris is a woman but because she is a woman of African
American and South Asian American descent.
What this means for Black women is that the power of the
ballot is real in a democratic society free of voter fraud. It means their
votes matter and they showed up and showed out at the polls in the midst of a
pandemic to exercise their voting power. It also means that there are fewer
limits on political positions that Black women can aspire to hold.
For American society, in general, former Senator Kamala
Harris’s rise to the rank of Vice-President-elect is proof that gender role
restrictions are deterrents to growth and leadership possibilities and that
gender should never interfere with a person’s political or nonpolitical
aspirations. The possibilities are now limitless for additional women to pursue
major political roles.
Vice-President-elect (soon-to-be Vice President) Harris will also become an inspiration for girls of all ethnicities. She is proof that they too can aspire to hold the next-to-highest-ranking position in U.S. government and better than that, they can aspire to become the President of the United States.
