Ebitari Larsen, President of Delta Data Services, is so delighted to celebrate the history-making of Vice President Elect, Kamala Harris. What a wonderful story Vice President elect Harris has of being of Jamaican and South Indian descent, yet being born and raised in the United States and thriving in this nation until her recent history-making election as the first woman, Black, Indian descent and so many other less known firsts to be voted to this high office in the United States government.

I am so moved, excited, hopeful, and proud beyond words to see someone who looks a lot more like me than others have, who will be moving onto the United States government high stage and leading this great nation.

Here are some of the excerpts from Vice President Elect Harris’ speech accepting the election results on Saturday, November 7th, that have moved me so deeply:

"The generations of women, Black women, Asian, White, Latina, Native American women who throughout our nation’s history have paved the way for this moment tonight. Women who fought and sacrificed so much for equality and liberty and justice for all. Including the black women who are often, too often overlooked but so often prove they are the backbone of our democracy.  All the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to protect the right to vote for over a century.

 

…

 

And while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last.

 

…

 

And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender. Our country has sent you a clear message.

Dream with ambition

Lead with conviction

And see yourselves in a way that others may not, simply because they’ve never seen it before. And know that we will applaud you every step of the way."

Wow, these are long overdue yet exciting times. I am so very inspired.
