As Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris walked down the platform in an all-white power suit to give her remarks and introduce President-Elect Joe Biden to the American people for the first time since the election was called, I couldn’t help but envision tiny shards of glass bouncing on the ground around her.
After all, history was happening right before our eyes: Harris would *finally* be the first female vice president of the United States. The glass ceiling to one of the highest offices in the land had been shattered.
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched Vice President-Elect Harris— in suffragette white—from my dorm room. I felt a rush of pride as I saw, for the first time, a woman thank the nation and speak directly to us about what she will do as the second-in-command of our country.
As she credited Biden for having the “audacity” to choose a woman of color as his running mate, I began to reflect on what made this moment so deeply emotional and patriotic for not only myself but all girls.
