USA Today announced its 2022 Women of the Year on Monday, and the list includes Vice President Kamala Harris.
In recognizing the 64 honorees USA Today said taking on the role as the first-ever woman, a woman of color, and South Asian American to reach vice president, Kamala Harris passed along a message of resilience and strength for women.
“Know you are not alone. Know that you are supported and know that your voice is strong,” she said. “It’s strong, and don’t let any circumstance diminish that or take your power from you. You are powerful. … You are strong.”
The 2022 list, which notably highlights many women of color, also includes Kizzmekia Corbett, National Institute of Health’s lead scientist for coronavirus vaccine research and Michelle Browder, an activist from Alabama.
