I can't wait to vote for Kamala Harris

I saw Kamala Harris tonight and mark my words -- she will be my president.

She is funny and passionate and fierce. She does not settle. She reminds me of President Obama in all the best ways. I can't wait to read her new book and then to support her campaign.

Here were some of my highlights:

  • She calls herself a "joyful warrior"
  • She focuses on the importance of being in the room where it happens
  • She quotes James Baldwin as her inspiration for her belief that "the time is always now"
  • "People say 'it's going to be difficult' as though we're afraid of hard work."
  • "The strongest politics are coalition politics"
  • She said her mother, as she died, "knew her fighting spirit was alive and well inside of me."
  • "Hold on to your friends. None of us achieves what we do without them."
