"She did not waver in the storm, ever," said Jill Louis, who was among the 38 women initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. with Harris in 1986 at Howard University in Washington, D.C. "When things were the most pressured, she was focused."
So it was no surprise to Louis and the other line sisters when Harris announced she was running for president in 2020.

Harris one-on-one in a debate against Trump. He wouldn't stand a chance. By the end of the debate Trump would be curled in a fetal position, sucking his thumb. She's very good at thinking on her feet in highly critical situations.

Pres Obama had Michelle. Senator Harris will need her sorority sisters to break through all the smears and lies with regard to her identity.
