Kamala Harris

And so, again, this gets back to my point about we all have to moderate what limitations are we putting on ourselves with what limitations are being sent our way.

Well, just like that, when you walk into that room, see all the people.

I think sometimes of Mrs. Frances Wilson, who was my first grade teacher who attended my law school graduation.

I think of my mother who would say to me, Kamala, don't you ever let anyone tell you who you are.

You tell them who you are.

Right?

Right.

It's a tool I have used over a period of time, and it has served me well.

Yes, there's Mrs. Wilson.

That's at my law school graduation, and that's my mother.

That's exactly right.

How about that?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's Mrs. Wilson.

Because there is, I think, a key to success that each of us who has achieved success probably shares, which is there has been someone at least, and it could be a parent, it could be a teacher, it could be a neighbor, it could be a pastor, someone who convinced you you were special.

Yeah.

You may not have been particularly special, but they told you you were and you believed them.

I know that's true for me.

I may not have been particularly special, but I had a few people who told me I was and I believed them.

But with that came, therefore, don't do this thing because you shouldn't be doing that thing, but go in that room.
