We are proud to say that Kamala Harris, Jamaican / East Indian American, has announced her candidacy for President of the United States. Kamala was born in Oakland, California to a Jamaican immigrant father who is now a Stanford University economics professor, and an East Indian immigrant mother who was a breast cancer scientist. After Kamala’s parents divorced when she was 7 years old, Kamala moved with her mother to Montreal, Canada, where her mother continued her scientific research and taught at McGill University. Kamala graduated from high school in Montreal and then elected to attend Howard University in Washington D.C., one of the top-ranked historically Black universities in the US. At Howard, Kamala majored in political science and economics and she pledged AKA. After Howard, Kamala returned to California to earn her J.D. at the University of California, Hastings College of Law in San Francisco.

Kamala’s career includes her time as a Deputy District Attorney for Alameda County, Chief of the Community & Neighborhood Division for the San Francisco City Attorney, the District Attorney for the City and County of San Francisco, the Attorney General for the State of California, and her current position, the junior US Senator for the State of California. She has been known as supportive of Medicare for all, criminal justice reform, immigrant rights, and American unity and togetherness. While we generally avoid politics in ABC and have no idea whether Kamala will be successful or not in her US Presidential bid, we are still very proud that Kamala, as a Blindian or Blasian person, has positioned herself to be a viable candidate for the highest office in the land, and we wish her all the best with much love and many blessings!
