Be the heroine of your life, not the victim.

Madame Vice President. First of her kind...but she won't be the last. Ms. Kamala Harris is our first African American, South Pacific woman Vice President. She has made her career in politics and cemented her place in history. And there are legions of black women who stand tall and proud behind them. Truth be told, I'm rooting for everyone who is black. May the grace of God cover us as we move forward as a people. There's a great work to do, and she is getting it done. Black people have carried the burden of fixing messes we didn't create, but we do it so well that it's an expectation.  Her moment in time is excellence personified, extrinsic motivation and glass ceilings shattering.

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.” ― Amelia Earhart

The inauguration ceremonies for Vice President Kamala Harris were filled with history and nostalgia. The overriding theme was hope for the future. There were so many moments with so many gems dropped. The ceremonies were diverse and inclusive. Kamala's purple ensemble was a flashpoint for the day. She stood out as an individual in the massive crowd. Purple is a rare color that signifies power, royalty, consistency, steadfastness, and wisdom. In 2020, purple represents the political mixing of blue and red, or unity. Madame Vice President Kamala Harris selected a black designer and she wore pearls to represent her sorority. This was a nod to Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman to run for President. As the first woman to hold this powerful role, she sent a clear message that she was prepared and ready to serve our nation in this capacity.. COVID-19  has trained us to shelter in place and participation virtually. We each have our place in history.  We witnessed the transfer of power to a proud Black AAPI woman. She projected the imagery of strength, unity, and dignity. I cried. I laughed. I leaned in. And I observed. Are you impressed with her performance? Have you reviewed the role of Vice President? What has this motivated you to do?
