… because of her joy. Bologna!!!
Perkins Coie – that says it ALL.
This woman is so articulate.
My question is: why couldn’t Kamala have spoken this way? She came off as one-dimensional.
This is insane to me. These people are drinking their own kool-aid. Where is this VP I've heard so much about? I've seen none of this in 2020 as a candidate, I've seen none of this as VP, I saw none of this when she ran in 2024. This is a fairy tale to me
Jill Louis seems more presidential material than Kamala by far
A teacher I collaborated with is an AKA member. When she came to DC to contribute to a publlic service event for DC public school personnel at the Cosmos Club, her AKA sisters loaned her clothing, jewelry, etc. It was a beautiful experience to see this hard-working, dedicated teacher experience sharing the good work she did in Tucson, AZ with disadvantaged students and experience being a presenter at that event and guest for the weekend at the Cosmos Club. AKA is definitely "about community and uplift."
I wonder how many of her sisters will absentee vote their male members who normally don’t vote. Black males, working class Hispanics and Whites are the low propensity voters who mysteriously vote in tight elections overwhelmingly for Democrats since Covid 1984.
Solid foundation 🙌 Harris Walz Team USA 🇺🇸 all the way 💙 💙💙
VOTE BLUE ACROSS THE BOARD
<3
Thank you! Good interview and insight on our FIRST FEMALE POTUS Ms Kamala Harris!!
Sisters wanting to believe self-importance, lies, and solidarity of an ideology rooted against US Founders plan for @ equal representation. The same entitlement of commies / LGBQT? to think they're better than non_gay : or woke =Rainbow Lunatics.
If PBS ever interviewed anyone from the right please let me know. It wouldn’t be fair if we won’t hear from the other side.
It's great seeing and listening to somebody who knows Kamala as an ordinary everyday person and her everyday struggles as a person and as a student at Howard. Thank you Frontline for having Jill Louis on to talk about the real Kamala Harris she is defintely very well versed and very knowlegeable about VP Harris.â¤â¤â¤
Jill, you are the friend/sister that everyone wants and deserves. Outstanding insight on the next president of the United States of America. Thank you for your candor, I hope there is a place for you in her cabinet and that you accept,
As a bi-racial black woman, Howard University provided me with the same safety and stimulation.
Harris Walz 2024
I love…. This!!! I want a friend like this 😠f these haters. This woman is flawless
I don't know Jill, but she is a whole boss… She should be an ambassador for Howard. She makes my old ass want to go back to school
This lady giving a better interview than the guy asking her questions…. She could do his job.
This lady is well spoken…. Kamala needs to see this!!
Alpha Kappa Alpha!!! Skeee wee my sorors…skee wee!!!!
Sounds very calculated her comments
Need to have the candidates go to a Howard University Speak Out. That would settle the whole dilemna for the straggling haggard voter even considering voting â¤red. Make for great entertainment tooâ¤â¤ï¸â€ðŸ©¹ðŸ’™
Wonderful rep for a powerful organization with a deep legacy.
Reaction to a storm and stress.. sooo many humdingers of words to describe HU!!
Nickname.. 😂😂😂😂. Soror I am taking notes. Love the coded words..ðŸ˜ðŸ’•ðŸ’šðŸ’•ðŸ’šðŸ’•
Whoa!! I love it
I am hollering about the project reference!!!😂😂😂😂
Tread carefully on the process question. Kekekeke 😂
Hard task coded word for process. I love it!!
Such a liar!! You can’t even trust pbs sooo bias. One sided!!!! People hate trump more than they love this country. We can only pray that eyes are open because our great country will be no more if Demoncrats continue.
How much did they pay her to say this stuff …lol
It is so fortunate to have the quality of a person like Kamila Harris at this time.
The ONLY REASON MOST AMERICANS WILL VOTE FOR HER IS BECAUSE OF TRUMP. If there was a SANE republican running against her she would LOOSE.
Expect NOTHING from her!
