The Biden-Harris White House Plans to “Restore America as a Champion for Women and Girls” Glamour

The council will be cochaired by Jennifer Klein and Julissa Reynoso, two women with extensive experience fighting for gender equity.

The Hard Part for Kamala Harris Will Come After She Makes History Politico
After laying her hand on the Bibles of the first Black Supreme Court justice and Regina Shelton, a “second mother to her,” Harris will confront a pressure that the white men she’s joining in the exclusive vice presidential club never felt. With that comes a mission—as Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, puts it—to “make sure you’re not the last.” It’s the barrier that no other woman or person of color was ever able to clear.
“Starting Wednesday, we're going to be lifted up and we're going to be able to tell our story,” said Donna Brazile, the former DNC chair and a groundbreaking woman of color herself. “And for Black women, we're often invisible. People don't see us. They don't know who we are. They don't know the value that we bring to the public space. And I think this is a great opportunity.”
