Kamala Harris is a Black woman: It’s not complicated
Kamala Harris could become the first woman to be vice president. And she’s a Black woman.

Calling her Black does not erase her Tamil roots. Yes, she’s the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India. Acknowledge the depth of her. Also note Harris has written about her Hindu mother raising her and her sister to be proud, Black women. She didn’t erase her South Asian identity by noting she’s a Black woman.

Black women can be South Asian, too. Black women can be Puerto Rican, like La La Anthony, on the cover of Essence magazine this month. Black women can have white mothers, like Alicia Keys. Black women can look like Mariah Carey, Rashida Jones, and Soledad O’Brien. Multiculturalism is real.

Because, yes, Black women like me, can be biracial, too.
