I want them to be whatever their God-given talents and grace will allow them to achieve. > But I have always known that there are barriers which must be removed for them to get there – precisely because they are woman, and also because they are black. > Each time someone out there removes a barrier that my children face, I rejoice! > How can I not rejoice because a woman and one of colour has reached this level? > When she is sworn in later this afternoon (January 20, 2021), I will sit with each of my daughters, and we will watch. And so will millions of black Americans who will see this day as a miracle. And many little girls will dream, and dream! > When my daughters were little, they would shout encouragement about each other with these words: > “Go Joanna, Go! You are a champion! Girls can do anything!” (Joanna was the smallest of them, and she got to Yale University!). > So let’s all shout: “Go, Kamala, Go! You are a champion! Girls can do anything!” > Let us encourage others so that we too might draw encouragement. > END _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
