Vice President Kamala Harris will be gracing the cover of Vogue for their February Issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><u>From Humble Upbringings to the White House<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Vice-President Elect was born in Oakland California to Indian and Jamaican parents. Her name actually means \u201cLotus\u201d, and she certainly has bloomed into a force to be reckoned with. She attended Howard University, and was active in the student government association there, so it\u2019s no surprise that she is still moving upward. She\u2019s been a public servant for the better part of two decades, and boast an impressive resume already: the first Black woman to be elected district attorney in California history, first woman to be California\u2019s attorney general, first Indian American senator, and now, the first Black woman and first Asian American to be picked as a vice presidential running mate on a major-party ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>History of Vogue and Controversy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday a leaked version of the cover began circulating on social media. Kamala sported a black jacket and converse shoes, and posed in front of a pink and green background (most likely an ode to Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc. the sorority to which she is a member of.) Some of the social media world felt It was washed out and too casual for Vogue, which is known for its complex and It was clarified that although that was a real cover, a second digital cover was released, revealing Kamala in a powder blue Michael Kors suit against a gold background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the background, I think we can all agree that Ms. Harris deserves her flowers, and she certainly deserves this cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><u>Representation Matters<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a little crazy to think that in the year 2021, we have headlines that say \u201cFirst Black\u201d, or \u201cFirst African American\u201d, anything, yet here we are. From the first United States Congress in 1789 through the 116th Congress in 2020, 162 African Americans have served in Congress. Meanwhile, the total number of all individuals who have served in Congress over history is 12,348. That\u2019s 1.311 percent to be exact. Kamala Harris is opening the doors of representation for so many women and girls of color. Hopefully we can continue to keep those doors open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured Image via Vogue Tyler Mitchell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Candace Green is a Birmingham, Alabama transplant by way of Washington DC.
