Kamala Harris: Media spotlight on her pearl legacy
After replacing Joe Biden in the presidential election, Kamala Harris is being thoroughly scrutinized by the media. This time, local portals report that she has a distinctive mark she never parts with—a pearl necklace. It holds special value for the current Vice President, allowing her to reminisce about the past.
Kamala Harris, the current vice president of the United States, has entered the race for the presidential seat in the upcoming election. She replaced Joe Biden in this race. Her campaign is gaining momentum, and everyone is wondering if the former prosecutor will manage to defeat Donald Trump. The first debate between the candidates, scheduled to take place on the night of September 10-11 (Eastern Time), has become a flashpoint that may decide the election outcome. Let's recall that Americans will go to the polls on November 5.
Kamala Harris is 60 years old, hails from California, and worked as a prosecutor at various levels. She was born in Oakland, California, to a family of immigrants from Jamaica and India.
Many U.S. citizens are still relatively unaware of the American vice president. The media scrutinizes her wealth and sense of style. The 60-year-old's hallmark is her pearl necklaces. Joe Biden's deputy appears with this jewelry at almost every meeting, and this unique accessory can be seen in many photos published on social media, including those posted by her.
According to American media, the pearls are a tribute to the college sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first African American sorority at Howard University. This group of female students, including Harris, was referred to as the "Twenty Pearls." The aim of this group was to train girls to become leaders in the future.
One of her necklaces, designed by American artist Irene Neuwirth, was valued at $11,000, or approximately $15,000 CAD. Kamala Harris can afford such expenditures; as Vice President of the USA, she earns $350,000 annually, and her financial disclosure shows that she saved almost half a million dollars last year.
