August 14, 2020: Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States has shared a poignant post about Kamala Harris, who was chosen as running mate for Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“Change can be slow and frustrating, but signs of progress are all around us. Harris has set an example for girls of colour, has struck a chord with thousands”, wrote Michelle Obama on Instagram.

She, however, mentioned that change may take time but there are also signs of progress. “This week Senator @KamalaHarris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, became the first Black woman and first Asian-American woman on a major party’s presidential ticket,” she added.

“I’ve been thinking about all those girls growing up today who will be able to take it for granted that someone who looks like them can grow up to lead a nation like ours. Because @KamalaHarris may be the first, but she won’t be the last,” she wrote further.

“@kamalaharris is an inspiration for girls across the world that our voice matters!” wrote an individual. “This caption is everything,” she added.
