When Kamala Harris became vice president of the United States, she made history as the first woman, first Black person, first South Asian American and first Caribbean American to hold the office. This stunning book covers Harris's life from her childhood in Berkeley to her Howard College years, charting the many firsts she has carried with her throughout her legal and senatorial careers. It also explores Harris's presidential campaign and family (her husband, Doug Emhoff, is the first Second Gentleman and first Jewish vice presidential spouse), and includes sidebars giving historical context to Black and female representation in government. Harris's inspiring journey is brought to life with 85 photographs, quotes, highlights from notable speeches and insightful commentary from Malaika Adero.
