Officially accepting the Democratic Party's nomination for the U.S. Presidency, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a near-40 minute speech, weaving in autobiographical anecdotes and details and laying out a policy vision in a rather neatly-stitched speech.

I watched, along with Georgia WIN List members and guests and Manuel's Tavern and got feedback from several women - some of them candidates as well - worthy of sharing while reviewing Harris' remarks.

I also wanted to share a conversation I had with Audrey Shoemaker with Fulton County's Animal Shelter to spotlight the "Clear the Shelters' fee-free animal adoption period going through September 10th at Fulton & Dekalb's shelters and with Lifeline Animal Project. Even if you can't adopt, there are many ways you can still help.
