From birth to historic nomination 

The publisher described Harris as ‘full of grit and determination’. They said that her ‘no-nonsense approach and bi-racial heritage have made her a popular member of the Democratic Party’. The 22-page book begins with her birth in California to Indian biologist Shyamala Gopalan and Jamaican economics professor Donald Harris. It then follows her path to becoming the second female African-American and first Asian-American US Senator.

The book also covers the moment when Harris confronted front-runner Joe Biden in a debate about his work with segregationists in the US Senate to oppose school busing, which is a practice of transporting students to different school districts to improve racial integration. It then goes on to follow the historic nomination, where Biden named Harris his running mate. Political leaders including, US President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palin, also feature in the comic book. 

The writer, Frizell said, “I enjoyed working on this comic. As a public figure, Kamala Harris is a fascinating person. Her historic nomination is a natural progression of her talent as a politician. It will be fascinating to see what happens next. Love her or not, her placement on the ballot is groundbreaking”.

The artist of the book said, “The Kamala Harris comic book helps readers in their connection to the main character on a personal level that the news, for its nature, set distance. Due to that, the goal of this project is to tell people details that most of them previously knew but couldn’t feel related to their lives”.
