Summary for the ground breaking life of Kamala Harris ?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Kamala Harris has spent her life crashing through glass ceilings and accumulating “firsts”. She was the first female district attorney of San Francisco, the first female attorney general of California, the first Indian American in the US Senate, the first Indian American candidate of a major party to run for vice-president. Soon she will become the first female vice-president. If Joe Biden only serves one term, as expected, there is a chance that in 2024 she could become the first black female president.

The problem with phrases like “first black female president” is that they confine the California senator to the sort of boxes she has always tried to avoid. “When I first ran for office that was one of the things that I struggled with, which is that you are forced through that process to define yourself in a way that you fit neatly into the compartment that other people have created,” she told the Washington Post last year. “I am who I am … You might need to figure it out, but I’m fine with it.” She does not agonise over her identity – she simply calls herself a “proud American”.

As with Barack Obama, there are those who have doubted Harris’s Americanness. The morning after Harris was named as Biden’s running mate, racist “birther” conspiracy theories, amplified by Donald Trump, began to circulate. Newsweek published an op-ed questioning whether Harris was “constitutionally ineligible” to become president because her parents, who met at graduate school in Berkeley, were immigrants. Her mother, a breast cancer researcher, was born in India. Her father, an economist, is black and was born in Jamaica. Harris, meanwhile, was born in Oakland, California. Which, to be very clear, means the 56-year-old is a natural-born US citizen and eligible to run for president.

Pawan Dhingra, a professor of American studies at Amherst College, notes that Harris’s biracial heritage “represents a history of Asian Americans that is often overlooked”. The dominant narrative around Asian Americans, Dhingra says, has to do with their “abilities to approximate whiteness in regards to their education levels and incomes”. The “model minority myth” has often pitted Asian Americans against black Americans. Harris, however, “offers a different trajectory to understand Asian Americans”, Dhingra believes. Her biography is one of interracial solidarity and activism: Harris’s progressive parents were active in the protests of the 1960s and 70s, and the senator has frequently talked about growing up with a “stroller’s-eye view of the civil rights movement”. She is, Dhingra notes, “a powerful symbol and voice for progressive Asian Americans”.

Your summary can be the first paragraph, the other paragraphs are for more info if not detailed enough. Plz mark as brainliest, hope this helps!

When it comes to thinking about life after high school, which of the following is a good resource person to seek out?

fomenos

Answer: resources for life after high school

Explanation:

I dont exactly know what you mean by "which of the following is a good resource person to seek out"

But im hoping i can be a person to shed some useful advice

here are so many things you can do after highschool,

if you don't feel ready or even want to go to college (which is very important to note that you DO NOT have to attend a college based on what you choose to do) you could take a gap year!

gap years can be for earning money, traveling getting footing before entering the mess that is young adlut life

there is finding exactly what it is that you want to pressure,

if you already know what you want to do, if that is in a section of careers that requires a college education then i'd start with reserching, community colleges for your basics and then after that find a college that best suits your major, the reason I say go to a community college first is because of the dreadful student debt, it is much, much cheeper to do your basics (english (or which ever language) math, science, ect) in a place where you arent paying your life away and when you finish your basics you can focus all towards you major!

and most importantly, I would advise learning as many life skills as possible, Budgeting, healthy living, organization and observation skills, like learning to live on a tight budget as a kid coming out of highschool, you probably dont have a lot of cash, its amazing if you already have a job but if you don't then, looking into how to write job applications is a important skill!!

drivers licenses is another thing, you can already get them in highschool if you'd like, but if you havent alreqady driving and having a car is a priority if you are getting a job, if you cant afford a car thats fine!

there are alternatives like biking which is eco friendly, public transportation is another great way to get around on a tight budget.

if you cannot find a job after highschool there is always great things like web design which makes great money, and it can be rather easy to learn code.

I don't know if this is what you were looking for but I really, really hope it helps in anyway ~
