Kamala Harris says an abused high school friend inspired her to fight for women
VP-elect Kamala Harris launched her career in public service on a personal note: She was inspired by a high school friend living in an abusive home.
“When I was in high school, I learned my best friend was being molested by her father. Once she told me, I said to her ‘Well, you have to come stay with us.’ — And she did,” Harris wrote on Instagram Saturday. “A big part of the reason I wanted to be a prosecutor was to protect people like her and change the system.”
