In celebration of Women’s History Month, </
The Los Angeles (CA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated proudly shines a spotlight on Honorary Member Kamala D. Harris, a global symbol of excellence in leadership, justice, and public service.
As the first woman, and first Black American to serve as Vice President of the United States, Madam Vice President Harris has reshaped what’s possible—not only in our nation, but across the world. From leading U.S. delegations to summits in Asia, Africa, and Europe, to championing global human rights, gender equity, climate justice, and economic development, her diplomatic presence has expanded the reach of Black women’s leadership on the world stage. Throughout her career, she has engaged with world leaders to strengthen alliances, advocate for marginalized communities, and support democratic institutions—amplifying a legacy of justice that transcends borders.

We remain committed to celebrating, uplifting, and educating our communities about the contributions of women whose vision knows no boundaries.
Stay with us as we continue to highlight remarkable women changing the world—one country, one cause, and one conversation at a time.
