Summary:
The childhood best friend of Vice President Kamala Harris looks back at the community in which they were raised and the lessons they learned from those they loved and admired.
Growing up together in Berkeley in the '60 and '70s, Stacey Johnson-Batiste and Kamala Harris were born of a time and place bursting with cultural diversity and freedom of expression. Here Johnson-Batiste introduces essential formative figures who informed their early lives and whose influences have played a role in shaping the character of both the author and of our vice president. -- Adapted from book jacket.
