Like so many women across the United States, Vice President Harris has inspired me so much, especially as she got sworn into office this past week. Here are five quotes from our first female Vice President of the United States to keep you feeling inspired!

On Being a Trailblazer

“My mother would look at me and she’d say, ‘Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you are not the last.'”

On Changing America

“Because we, the people, have the power to build a better future.”

On Empowering Women

“There will be people who say to you, ‘You are out of your lane.’ They are burdened by only having the capacity to see what has always been instead of what can be. But don’t you let that burden you.”

On The State of the Country

“Throughout all of the recent events and the emotional roller coaster our country has been on, we cannot lose hope. And in order to have hope, one must first speak truth.”

On Perservance and the Future

“Go forward unburdened, unwavering, and undaunted by the fight.”
