Kamala Harris became the first Black and South Asian woman nominated to a major party's presidential ticket tonight.
She is set to deliver her acceptance speech as the first woman of color on a major party ticket this evening.
Harris, a daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, has often spoken about both their experience in America and her own as a biracial woman.
Harris was officially nominated by her sister Maya, niece Meena, and stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff.
"I love you, I admire you, I am so proud of you. Even though mommy is not here to see her first daughter step into history, the entire nation will see in your strength, your integrity, your intelligence, and your optimism the values that she raised us with," Maya said.
"We love you, mamala. We are so proud of you, auntie. You mean the world to us, Kamala. And we could not be more excited to share you with the world. As the next vice president of the United States," the women said together.
