With Kamala Harris being elected as our next vice president, we can’t help but take a good hard look at why this is such a historic win. Of course we’re thrilled and we’ve touched on why women of color in office is kind of a big deal, but let’s talk about how we can lift more women to work in politics.

The presidential election is finally winding down and alongside Joe Biden, Kamala Harris has been announced as vice president-elect of the United States. With her win, numerous women of color have been elected to positions of power across the country. Those victories – from the White House to city halls - were secured by the groundwork of Black women like Stacey Abrams and LaTosha Brown.
