Girl Up

Representation Matters

Today, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris made history as the first female, Black, and South Asian American to hold the office inspiring a generation to follow in her footsteps.

Through the eyes of girls across the country, including our very own Girl Up changemakers, you can see what it meant for the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants to be sworn in as the 49th Vice President of the United States, becoming the highest-ranking female politician in American history.

Vice President Harris was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina to serve on the highest court in the U.S.
