Kamala Harris Makes History As Vice President-Elect
Till date, nearly two dozen Indian-Americans have been appointed or nominated to high powered positions on the Biden-Harris A-team.
Besides Kamala Harris, Vivek Murthy, Gautam Raghavan, Mala Adiga, Vinay Reddy, Bharat Ramamurti, Neera Tanden, Celine Gounder, Atul Gawande among others are some of the Indian names that are blooming more now than at any other time in the innermost circles of the White House and that too within weeks after the #MyNameIs blowback to Republicans mangling of US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris first name during the 2020 campaign. KAH -mah-lah? Kah-MAH -lah? Kamala-mala-mala? I don t know. Whatever, Republican Senator David Perdue, an ally of outgoing President Donald Trump, mocked as crowds of Trump fans erupted in laughter ahead of a super spreader-type rally in Macon before the November 3, 2020 election.

Everything happens too slowly for my liking.
The last times there were strong glimmers of hope of having a woman in the White House were in 1984 (when Geraldine Ferraro ran for vice president), 2008 and, most recently, in 2016 when Hillary Clinton made history as the first woman nominated for president on a major party ticket.
Many people were delighted, especially Italian American women like myself, when Ferraro ran. They held all kinds of parties for her. I had the pleasure of meeting her on more than one occasion. I once asked her, “What do you do with criticism?” As a Democrat and a woman, she was getting more than her share of verbal attacks, and this was before Twitter and other social media platforms.

Kamala Harris Makes History As Vice President-Elect
US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris recently featured on America s noted magazine s cover page. In the two images that were released online, Kamala Harris is standing against a shiny pink and gold backdrop.
At first glance, the released pictures look pretty ordinary. However, several social media users labelled the magazine s cover as a washed out mess. Many even suggested that the choice of attire and poorly lit pictures were disrespectful to the Vice President-elect.
