As a gamer with a lifelong passion for politics, I’ve seen my fair share of twists and turns, much like navigating a complex RPG. And just like how I believed in that peanut farmer from Georgia or the governor from Arkansas, I wholeheartedly support Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States.
Sheryl Lee Ralph thinks that Kamala Harris has the ability within herself to achieve historical success and potentially be elected as the next President of the United States.
Over the weekend at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, the lead actor from “Abbott Elementary” had a conversation with Nekesa Mumbi Moody, who is one of the co-editors in chief at The Hollywood Reporter, about Vice President Harris’ groundbreaking campaign for the presidency.
Ralph expressed to the audience that she’s supported Harris ever since the politician initiated her first presidential campaign in 2019. “I firmly believe that this lady has the potential to make history and become an exceptional leader,” she stated. Recognizing the challenges, considering Harris as a woman of color, Ralph referenced other candidates who defied the odds and managed to secure their presidency in recent times.
“She stated, ‘I’m the one who, growing up, trusted a peanut farmer from Georgia. I’m the same child who had faith in a governor from Arkansas. I’m that individual who, when they said ‘Barack Obama, there are too many vowels in that name.’ I responded, ‘Really? You can’t see it.’ They predicted, ‘It will never happen that America elects him as president.’ And if any of you were present, it indeed was a cold day in hell.'”
Ralph further shared his perspective on Harris’ leadership, stating, “Upon meeting Kamala and learning about her work in California, I remarked, ‘She possesses the right qualities for the job.'”
The renowned actress and stage performer subsequently echoed a prophecy previously stated by Shirley Chisholm, the pioneering politician who, in 1968, became the first Black woman elected to Congress and later contested the presidency in 1972.
As I pondered over my gaming console, I found myself mulling over an intriguing thought: “Prophetic words can sometimes come true.” Shirley Chisholm, a beacon of inspiration for me and countless others, once wisely stated that the path to the White House for a Black woman might lie through the Vice Presidency.
Ralph, much like Harris, has shared that he and the vice president have cherished a friendly bond with each other for quite some time, which they refer to as a “wonderful friendship.”
“She mentioned that she enjoys Kamala not only as an individual but also their shared conversations about rice and peas. Reflecting on this, she thought, ‘Beyond her being remarkable, intelligent, brilliant, and a powerful leader, I believe the White House would benefit from having some rice and peas prepared there.'”
“Ralph went on to say, ‘This woman is highly competent.’ She’s demonstrated her abilities to you. Why do some of you have reservations about supporting such a qualified and prepared woman? I find myself needing to pose this query.'”
To round off his argument, Ralph spoke about the ongoing discussion on Harris’ multiracial heritage, a topic brought up due to Donald Trump’s claims that it was impossible for Harris to be of both Indian and African American descent.
Ralph expressed that his Scottish grandfather is not present in him. He then mentioned Kamala, who, as everyone from the islands knows, is a favorite mix of Black and Indian heritage. He appreciates this blend greatly, finding it pleasant and aesthetically pleasing. In his opinion, she represents this combination perfectly. He assures us that there are no issues regarding her heritage; neither he nor her family has any concerns. So, Ralph wonders, why is there a problem with Kamala’s identity in America? They find themselves having to ask her questions like, ‘What are you? Are you Black or are you Indian?’ Perhaps she is capable and ready to take on the job at hand. In fact, she will simply perform her duties as a Black woman.
In another part of the interview, Ralph discussed how her self-assurance emerged due to being a child of an immigrant.
The actress stated, “My mom was a powerful woman from Jamaica.” She also shared that her mom often said, ‘Never stop striving for improvement; always aim to make your good better, and your better, the best.’
She remarked, “I hail from the ’60s, and it was challenging and tough. And I recall – I was that child spearheading integration. There was always one student who had to shatter the mold, and I was that one student at Notre Dame Academy for Young Women. It was a living hell, those nuns pushed me to my limits. But my mother would say, ‘Sheryl, if you didn’t belong there, you wouldn’t be there. Keep your head up high, straighten your back and stand tall.'”
