10 Reasons We Love Kamala Harris’ Unapologetic Leadership Style
Now that the 2020 Election results are in, we can officially celebrate the historic election of Kamala Harris to the Vice Presidency! Her ascendance represents a slew of historic firsts: she’s not only the first woman in the White House, she’s the first Indian-American and and Black American Vice President in history. It’s an incredible moment of pride for women and communities of color who feel a newfound sense of representation by her presence in the White House.
That said, there is so much to Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris’ leadership style that we love.
Read on for 10 reasons we’re especially proud to see this powerful woman of color lead our nation forward like a boss.
1. This is how she gets off airplanes:
I just love a powerful woman with swagger, don’t you?
2. Her take on the American dream:
As the daughter of immigrants, Kamala not only believes in the American dream, she’s lived it.
3. How seamlessly she disrupts interruption
She’s an inspiration for all of us facing interrupters.
4. Her take on leadership and responsibility
It’s refreshing to see a leader who takes the responsibility of serving as a role model seriously.
5. Her use of “dude”
Maybe this is just the Colorado-dweller in me, but I love that she uses the word “dude” like it ain’t no thang.
6. Her take on women, girls, and power
In a world that still associates power with men and masculinity, she encourages women and girls to own their strength - and she shows us what that looks like.
7. She calls it like it is
One thing her fans and critics alike can agree on: she doesn’t mince words. When she sees injustice, she says something about it.
8. Her take on diversity
We live in a very diverse nation - and this election has only made that more clear. But Kamala doesn’t run from difference - she sees them as a strength.
9. Her affinity for pairing chucks and power suits:
Style and comfort? These are the superheroine style goals we didn’t know we needed.
10. Her belief in independent women
And that’s just how we like her. What a boss!
