Today, I got to tell my children that Kamala Harris is the first woman and first woman of color (Black and Asian American) to be elected Vice President of the United States. Words cannot express what this means to me as a woman of color, and what it means to have my daughter understand the significance of this historic time as well. I have been on such a high since the news broke. It took a few days for the official results to be tallied. I actually voted early on October 29th, and of course election day was Tuesday, November 3rd. It surprisingly only took me 45 minutes to get through the line given the unprecedented number of voters who voted in this election.
With this incoming administration in general, my hope for healing is heightened - hope for a better, more just and equitable world, and a United States of America where unity, love, and peace abide.
