Gonna do a thread of some of the best stories about Kamala Harris - they& #39;ve been written by women of color.
First, on all the meaning in a name by @deepa_shivaram, who inspired this thread and has been the most knowledgable person on Harris all cycle: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/change-or-keep-your-name-kamala-nikki-others-story-identity-n1240646">https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asia...

This @JasJWright story I STILL think about all the time — on the legacy she left in her presidential run for girls of color https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/14/politics/kamala-harris-legacy/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/1...
Last year @tparti wrote this wonderful story about Harris& #39;s family, especially her mother, and how their legacy has shaped her as a politician: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-kamala-harriss-family-of-fighters-influenced-her-campaign-message-11572429601">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...
And @emarvelous got the first sit-down interview with Harris after she made history as Biden& #39;s vice presidential nominee: https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-applauds-bidens-audacity-to-choose-a-black-woman-to-be-his-running-mate/">https://19thnews.org/2020/08/k...
And @jmsummers has been covering Harris since the very beginning of the primary, so it& #39;s hard to pick, but I loved this feature on how Howard shaped Harris: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/19/903716274/howard-university-shaped-kamala-harris-path-to-political-heights">https://www.npr.org/2020/08/1...
Also @kadiagoba doesn& #39;t even cover Harris normally but this from a roundtable interview w Harris about what it was like to be covered by a mostly-white press corps was really good and made me think a lot about my own blind spots this cycle: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kadiagoba/kamala-harris-coverage-diversity-media">https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/k...
