    Tecia McKay of Dublin, Ga. For McKay, the day “means an evolution for our country, for women, for a dream that can be achieved. Kamala Harris is breaking the glass ceiling for women. This is a benefit for everyone. I consistently focus on diversity, not just for women but in every aspect including race and socioeconomic status. This is step for everyone. Equality does not have to be a dream. Together, we can do so much more when we all have a voice. My pearls represent the grace of a finer woman and still having the ability to achieve for the opportunity to help others. I am truly excited at the possibilities for all of us.”
