Words of wisdom from the first woman and first Black Vice President. We can all learn from Kamala Harris to be active. Be creative. Be thoughtful!

Black Lives Matter and the racial injustices Black Americans face

“Let’s speak the truth: People are protesting because Black people have been treated as less than human in America. Because our country has never fully addressed the systemic racism that has plagued our country since its earliest days. It is the duty of every American to fix. No longer can some wait on the sidelines, hoping for incremental change. In times like this, silence is complicity.”

Vice President Kamala Harris says never give up

“Don’t give up – our country needs you now more than ever. This is a pivotal moment in the history of our country: Our ideals are at stake, and we all have to fight for who we are. We all are and should be treated as equals. Still, the disparity in terms of income and inequality, for women and women of color, is significant”.

A message for Women’s History Month: You can be who you want to be. You can do what you want to do.
