Like Madame VP Kamala Harris and Stacey Abrams, I am an HBCU graduate; specifically of Spelman College (class of )2018. It has always been known to wear your pearls on significant occasions, especially when we are dressed up. Since Kamala is making history, January 20 is not just a significant moment for her, it is a moment for all Black women across the nation. When Black Women wear their pearls, know that they have arrived to get the job done at all costs and will make choices to change the world for the better. “
