1. I've seen this photo several times now. What folks don't know is that this captured encounter would have been just as sincere -- even if the cameras were not there. I'm saying this from experience.

I've tried so hard to remain quiet about the terrible narratives that's been
2. pushed about our Vice President of the United States. I can not remain quiet anymore.

Those who have pushed or continue to push awful stories about her are doing it with darkness in their hearts. YOU KNOW YOU ARE LYING.

You talk about how she speaks or how she shares her
joy, and you LIE about how involved she's been in trying to improve the quality of life for some of our country's most vulnerable. You LIE when you report that you don't see her when she's literally been EVERYWHERE.

Why? What's in your heart that prevents you
3. from simply telling the truth? Do you know that you're aiding in the suffering of so many people?

Check your hearts, folks, and share what our VP has been doing and continues to do for "the least of these."

She is the real deal, and you know it.

1. SOUTH CAROLINA has the 15th largest African American population in the United States - with Orangeburg having the largest population by city. I was shocked to only see 3 presidential candidates (Harris, Booker, Steyer) show up to Betty Henderson's annual cook-off in Orangeburg
2. It is no secret that it will be extremely difficult for anyone to win the democratic primary without SOUTH CAROLINA.

The absence of the other presidential candidates is insulting, and I believe that it means one of two things:
3. One - Absent candidates believe that they can win *without* the African American vote in SC.

Two - Absent candidates *expect* African Americans in SC to just fall in place and just vote the way they've been told.

Either way...it's DISPARAGING!

#DayoftheGirl 1. I thought for sure that the media would be spotlighting Sen. @KamalaHarris's presidential presence at last night's #EqualityTownHall on a loop this morning. They're not. Are we lying to our daughters when we tell them that they can be anything they want?
2. Honest questions: What am I supposed to tell my black daughters? Do I *really* continue to tell them that hard work and preparation will always be recognized? Must I continue to defend the *opinions* of those who appear to not recognize the power of their voices?
3. There are so many little girls - black girls - who are witnessing Sen. @KamalaHarris shape history in full color.

These are my daughters, and they see Senator Harris as an inspiration. Don't they deserve that?

Why do people continue to try to erase history in the making?
