Biography and childhood of Kamala Harris

She first served as the Alameda County District Attorney, then from 2004 to 2011 she served as the San Francisco District Attorney.

She was later promoted to the state of California, where she became the first woman and black woman to become the governor of the most famous state in the United States.

Since then, she has run for senator representing California. Then in 2020, she entered the presidential race, but her candidacy did not go far. Later, Mr. Biden took her as his assistant.

Gil Duran, former communications director for Harris’ campaign, described her as highly skilled.

Ms Harris focused on some important plans, where it is thought that there is her signature in any success of the Biden administration.

Biden asked Harris to lead an effort to identify the factors driving illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border.

In recent days, Ms Harris has repeatedly emphasized the dangers of preventing abortion, after the Supreme Court overturned the Roe and Wade decision, which is a 25-year-old decision that guarantees the right to abortion in 2022.

In her speech at the party’s convention, which is the biggest event she has ever addressed in her life, Ms. Harris criticized Trump and the Republican Party for organizing abortion bans in the country, where she said she would return to the women of the country with this freedom.

Ms Harris is pushing harder to woo voters to win.

In the 2020 campaign, she announced her plan to provide equality for gays and lesbians and other things.

Now, about four years later, she has promised to create plans that will raise the value of families.

“In all the jobs I’ve done in the past, people are mine,” she said.

Harris was born in Oakland, California. Her mother is of Indian origin and her father is of Jamaican origin.

Her parents separated when she was five years old, with her mother Shyamala Gopalan Harris taking care of her.

Ms Harris grew up mixing with Indian culture, often following her mother to the country.

“My mother knows that her two children are female and black. She knows that the country she lives in will see her children as black, which made her determined to encourage us.”

But her life at Howard University, which is one of the top schools attended by black people, changed her life, where she also said that coming to the university changed her life and thinking.

Lita Rosario-Richardson met Kamala Harris at Howard University in the 1980s at a student gathering to discuss politics, fashion, and more.

They were shocked because they had the same thoughts, and the fact that they all grew up in the hands of their mothers.

“It was during the Reagan administration, where the issue of African Americans living in the United States and the issue of Martin Luther King’s portrait were being discussed,” said Ms Rosario-Richardson.

“We know that as descendants of colonized and black people, only education will give us a chance in society,” she said.

But Haris lives easily in the middle of nowhere. She lived for a while in Canada when her mother Ms Gopalan Harris worked as a teacher at McGill University, where Kamala and Maya followed her, until they went to school in Montreal for five years.

Harris told the Washington Post in 2019 that there should be no distinction between politicians because of race.

“I’m just me, and I’m proud of it,” she said.

Ever since she was growing up, she has shown signs of skill, which are the ones that help her achieve success, as her friend Ms Rosario-Richardson explained.

“This drew attention to her when we entered the lecture hall at Howard University,” she said.

In a video she posted on her social media in 2020 after they won the election, she said, “We won Joe, you are the next president of the United States.”

The way she laughed and smiled attracted the attention of her friend, where she said, “she used to laugh a lot even in our debate hall when we were in university.”

In 2014, when Harris was a senator, she married Doug Emhoff, who is a lawyer, where she continues to hold his two children, Cole and Ella.

She wrote an essay in Elle magazine in 2019, in which she explained how she became a caregiver.

“When Doug and I got married, Cole and Ella and I agreed that they would no longer call me the ‘opposite mother’. They started calling me ‘Momala.’

Cole, Ella, and their father were both seen at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, where they were dubbed the “faithful family.”

Her younger sister, Maya and niece, Meena also came to the grand event.

Nadia Brown, a junior professor of political studies at Purdue University, told the BBC that Kamala Harris is following in the footsteps of Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Septima Clark and others.
