Email Submit Civilian Name : Kamala Harris Super Name : The Captain Superpower : Fearless Origin : Presidential Promise Kamala Harris is following in the footsteps of Shirley Chisholm . On Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, Harris announced that she would be running for president in the 2020 election. Just like Chisholm, Harris has dreams of changing some of the policies and laws that will help shape the United States of America in the direction many voters would like to see it go. At a very young age Harris knew that she would enter the field of law and possibly go into politics. She attended Howard University , where she majored in economics as well as political science. Her presidential opponents should know that not only did she join the debate team in college, but also was a freshman class representative, which means she’s been ready for a leadership role. After graduating, Harris went on to Hastings College of Law and in 2004 made history by becoming the first Black U.S. senator of California. In 2016, she went on to win the Senate election. While being Senator, Harris has supported the legalization of recreational marijuana , support health care for all, help pass the DREAM Act and lower taxes. If elected to become president, Harris promises to fight for a middle class tax cut. Like all superheroes, Harris has a lot of obstacles to climb to get to the White House, but with her fearless attitude and strength she’s showing us that she has what it takes to get there.

Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Via  Madamenoire : Amanda Seales   just used her social media to reveal she was the victim of sexual harassment, naming  Myron Rolle , an  ex-NFL  player turned  Harvard   neurosurgeon, as the subject of her accusation.   During a recent interview and again on her podcasts, Small Doses, Seales talked about an encounter where she claims she received disturbing direct messages from an unnamed source. On Monday, Seales used her InstaStories to explain why she chose to come forward.

I, on my podcast, um and on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ spoke about an individual who had approached me on the Internet and we spoke on the phone, and, uhh they said some troubling things in the conversation that made me take a step back.” Seales said she was instantly made aware the Rolle had a separate encounter with another woman, who says he greeted her at the door of his hotel room with no clothes on and then made her feel uncomfortable about her reaction. Seales says as of Monday, a total of eight women have come forward to reveal troubling behavior. “When I spoke about him on my podcast and on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ I didn’t say his name. I literally just said a couple of characteristics about him and it has been shocking and incredibly discomforting to me, how many women, 8 as of tonight, that have come forward to say his name. And that he had been incredibly problematic and behaved in a very sexually predatorial way that could have gotten him fired. I say all that to say, if you are approached by Myron Rolle, you should just be mindful,” she said in closing. Rolle is a 32-year-old Harvard Medical School resident who initially began his career in the limelight after he was drafted to the NFL in 2010 as a member of the Tennessee Titans. In a 2017 interview with CNN, Rolle said his trajectory to explore medicine began when he read Ben Carson’s autobiography, “Gifted Hands.” After graduating from Florida State University, he postponed his NFL career to attend Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. For Seales, this is the second time she reported contact with a prominent male harasser. In 2017, she retold an uncomfortable tale where Russell Simmons asked if the two had ever “f—–d.”
