Vice President Kamala Harris shared some pertinent advice with the young minds of the nation. During her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show recently, she said encouraging words to the younger generation, telling them to follow their passions without any second thought. Harris, who is 58 years old, also recalled her own experiences and talked about her humble beginnings in an attempt to inspire the next generation.
During the show, Harris answered questions posed by a 10-year-old reporter Jeremiah Fennell from Las Vegas. The latter inquired about what advice Harris would give her 10-year-old self when it came to chasing her dreams. Viewers of all ages were struck by the Vice President’s words as she said, “I would say, don’t you hear no, that it can’t be done or nobody like you has done it, or oh, you’re too young or oh, they’re not ready for you. Because you know my saying? I eat no for breakfast.”
Harris’ resolute message underscores the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of challenges. Moreover, young Fennell didn’t stop there; he also sought advice for children aspiring to become the president or vice president someday. Harris’s response was rooted in her own experiences and journey to the vice presidency.
“Follow your passion,” Harris advised. “Because all said and done, if you are fortunate enough, you are going to work very hard, and when you do the work that you enjoy doing, you do it well and all the other things come.” Her guidance emphasized the significance of finding joy and fulfillment in one’s pursuits, as it often leads to excellence in those endeavors.
