Kamala Harris

My mother, naturally, at that young age, became aligned with the civil rights movement in Berkeley and Oakland, California.

Met my father, who had been a national scholar in Jamaica.

They fell in love.

And here I am.

My sister and I were born.

And we were born in an environment where everyone was fighting for justice and for freedom and for equality.

Every message we got.

was you are important and you have a duty to figure out how you're going to participate.

I'm very in love with my husband.

And he's very funny.

I hope you got a sense of it.

Yeah, well, he and I had such different careers, both of us being lawyers, right?

He went immediately into private practice.

I never wanted to be in private practice.

It was never about money for me.

It was always about people and how could I do the work that was about protecting people and giving people dignity.

I think there's a lot that has to do also maybe with birth order.

I'm the eldest.

And from the age of two years old, my mother told me, take care of your sister.

Look out for your sister.
