Kamala Harris
Happy Presidents' Day to listeners in the States!
Even though we don't technically have a female president *yet*, we are celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the first female, and also the first Black American and first South Asian American to hold the office of Vice President.
So just who is Kamala Harris and what was her road to Vice President? In this week's sleep story, we will learn about her upbringing with immigrant parents, her law career and her path to becoming Vice President of the United States--along with her long list of "firsts." Unlike the previous weeks' stories, I omitted extra ASMR triggers in the background and opted for some water and white noise sounds in the background. Let me know what you think! I'm just trying to find nice combinations of sounds :-)

SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BOOKSTORES!
If you’re interested in Vice President Harris’s books or ANY books for that matter, please consider supporting a Black-owned independent bookstore! The following websites below give a list of Black-owned bookshops that you can order from online or by phone and you’ll be supporting a small business as well! I am in no way affiliated with either of the websites LiteraryHub or AfroTech, nor do I make any money from your use of the sites or patronage of any of the bookstores. It’s just a resource I like to use for myself as well.
