Who Is Kamala Harris (Kirsten Anderson)

 


This is a quick read and seems like a good summary of Kamala Harris' life so far. It ends with her becoming vice-president, of course. There will be some who won't like their kids to read it because of partison politics - but it can't be denied, this is a lady who has accomplished some great things. 

Goodreads says:

The inspiring story of Vice President Kamala Harris told in the new Who HQ Now format for trending topics.

On November 7, 2020, Kamala Harris, a senator from California, became the first woman and the first African-American and South Asian-American person to be elected to the vice presidency. While her nomination for this position was not unexpected, her rise to national prominence was one filled with unexpected turns and obstacles. After failing her first bar exam to become a lawyer, she tried again and passed. From there, she quickly rose through the legal ranks, serving as district attorney of San Francisco, then California's attorney general, and soon, senator. As a politician, Kamala Harris has been a vocal champion of progressive reforms and women's rights. This exciting story details the defining moments of what led to her nomination and all the monumental ones since that have shaped her career and the future of America.
