THE MATRIARCH
BY JUVA THREAT ALEXANDER The US Senator, January 1, 2020. We did what we always did at the start of a New Year. We celebrated, we gathered in our places of worship, we yelled “Happy New Year”, we made New Year’s resolutions, held vision board parties and we greeted the upcoming year with great expectation. Little did we know, just two months later, we would be in the middle of a global pandemic; the Corona Virus invaded the United States like a thief in the night. Forcing us to adjust to the “new norm” of working remotely, virtual education and attending meetings behind our computer screens while sitting at our dining room tables. Suddenly, we became more focused on the news, social media, our families and even politics. This was a presidential election year in the middle of our forced “new norm” and we paid attention. One of the presidential candidates was of course the Junior Senator from California, and former prosecutor (San Francisco’s first female, first black and first Asian American district attorney), Kamala D. Harris. Intelligent, witty, poised and determined; Kamala was destined for greatness and a force to reckon with. Although, she did not advance to become the presidential nominee; we all believed she would end up on the ticket as the running mate to then former Vice President Joe Biden!
