Barack Obama becoming president was definitely an achievement that is still being heralded among people of color. Now, the excitement of a Black woman becoming Vice President of the United States has sent a shock wave of amazement, support, and happiness among the people. 

Senator Kamala Harris reaching a pinnacle not even thought about in recent years has energized people, specifically the youth in acknowledging this feat.

Tyler Gordon

This accomplishment gave a young Bay Area 14-year-old teenager, Tyler Gordon, the inspiration to utilize his artistic talents to place an image he drew on canvas. The young painter then posted, on his Twitter account, a clip of him painting the image of Harris and he tweeted the photo to her as well as asked his followers to retweet and tag her for the possibility of her seeing it.

Well, the gamble paid off and Vice President-elect Harris did see the post. Not only did she see the post, according to a follow up post from Gordon, she actually called him!

Gordon also posted the phone call he received and thanked Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton’s daughter; Chelsea, who had also forwarded the original post for Harris to see.
