Dear Daughter, I wish that we both were waking up to a different America. I wish that we both were waking up to a new day and a new country that views our humanity as inherent and worthy of honoring and protecting. I wish that we both were celebrating the expansion of opportunities for the marginalized instead of mourning the narrowing of rights for the most vulnerable. I was so proud of your commitment to vote in your first election and of your excitement at the idea of electing a Black-South Asian woman as President. I wish that Madame Vice President Kamala Harris was waking up with the knowledge that her excellence, her experience, her leadership, her vision, and her wisdom were recognized by the American people. I wish that she was waking up to our congratulations and our gratitude. She deserves all of it and more.
