Fjölskylda mín ferðaðist til Bresku Kólumbíu í brúðkaup frænku minnar. Ég var blómastelpan og brúðkaupið fór fram á afskekktari kirkjujörð við sjóinn með fallegum bryggjum.
Brúðkaupið fór af stað án vandræða. Ég henti nokkrum blómum og rispaði í kláða kjólnum mínum. Í kjölfar athafnarinnar komu allir út að gera myndir á bryggjunni. Ég var annars hugar að leika mér í moldinni meðan brúðkaupsveislan færðist niður bryggjuna án mín. Mamma mín var auðvitað annars hugar þegar ég talaði við systur sína og ég var venjulega límd við hlið hennar samt.
Meðan ég var að teikna í moldina með staf kom að mér maður í jakkafötum. Hann leit ekki út fyrir að vera hættulegur og sagðist vera frændi eða eitthvað af frænda mínum núna. Hann leit vel út fyrir mér en ég vissi ekki af hverju. Hann sagði að mamma mín og frænka hefðu falið sér að fylgjast með mér meðan þau tóku myndir og svoleiðis. Ég vissi ekki betur, svo að hann tók í hönd mína byrjaði að ganga með mig ekki aftur til kirkjunnar þar sem móttakan yrði ... heldur í átt að moldarveginum sem liggur út úr eigninni.

About the author
Kamala Harris
18 books792 followersKamala Devi Harris (born Kamala Iyer Harris) is an American politician and attorney who is the 49th and current vice president of the United States since 2021, under President Joe Biden. She is the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, as well as the first African-American and first Asian-American vice president. A member of the Democratic Party, she served as a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021 and the attorney general of California from 2011 to 2017. Harris is the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2024 presidential election.
Born in Oakland, California, Harris graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. She began her law career in the office of the district attorney (DA) of Alameda County, before being recruited to the San Francisco DA's Office and later the city attorney of San Francisco's office. In 2003, she was elected DA of San Francisco. She was elected attorney general of California in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. Harris served as the junior U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021; she defeated Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 Senate election to become the second African-American woman and the first South Asian American to serve in the U.S. Senate.
As a senator, Harris advocated for strict gun control laws, the DREAM Act, and federal legalization of cannabis, as well as healthcare and taxation reform. She gained a national profile for her pointed questioning of Trump administration officials during Senate hearings, including Trump's second Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
Harris sought the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, but withdrew from the race before the primaries. Biden selected her to be his running mate, and their ticket went on to defeat the incumbent president and vice president, Donald Trump and Mike Pence, in the 2020 election. Harris and Biden were inaugurated on January 20, 2021. After Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election, Harris launched her own presidential campaign with Biden's endorsement. On July 22, 2024, Harris secured enough non-binding support from delegates to become the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.
