Maya Harris: I'd known there'd been a couple of transgender colleagues in the past in the firm, but when I tried to look them up, they were no longer around. And to have somebody to share, you know, my thinking with was really helpful. Like, how do I do this just once?ĭavid DeLallo: Regardless of whether you had actually gone down the path, just knowing that you existed here in the company was helpful for me. So for me, it was only earlier this year.īut actually, like, looking back on it, those conversations and starting up those discussions was me saying, actually, I'm not the only who's having to figure this out and to think about exactly that problem. But you were going through that process long before I went through that process. I find it funny you telling that story like that, because it kind of sounds like I had all the answer for you. Would you mind if I connected her with you?" And I said, "Of course." And so one of the leaders of Equal at McKinsey, our organization for gay, lesbian, transgender colleagues was somebody that I reached out to to figure out how to navigate this process here.Īnd she happened to reach out to me over email and said, "Hey," you know, "there's another colleague who is transgender and is thinking about their process of coming out. What happened was I was in the middle of trying to figure out how I was going to announce my coming out in the in the firm. (MUSIC)ĭavid DeLallo: It was about two years ago. And actually having someone like you, who ’s shared a lot of that and has gone through the tough times and is enjoying the better times and still have those tough moments the same way that I still have those tough moments, that means a hell of a lot. is not only a vital partner to but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country-from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband.Maya Harris: I ’m in a better place now than I ’ve been for a very long time. The CNN piece prompted White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki to tweet in a defense of Harris, writing: “For anyone who needs to hear it. “Defenders and people who care for Harris are getting frantic,” CNN’s Dovere and Wright reported, adding, “She’s perceived to be in such a weak position that top Democrats in and outside of Washington have begun to speculate privately, asking each other why the White House has allowed her to become so hobbled in the public consciousness, at least as they see it.” “That’s where the frustration is coming from.” “It is natural that those of us who know her know how much more helpful she can be than she is currently being asked to be,” Kounalakis said. Vice President Kamala Harris hugs President Joe Biden during the signing ceremony for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on the South Lawn at the White House on Nov. 2 is to be helpful and supportive to the President and to take on work that he asks her to take on,” said Eleni Kounalakis, the lieutenant governor of California and a longtime friend of the vice president. “She’s very honored and very proud to be vice president of the United States. The CNN report also alleges that Harris fosters a toxic workplace environment and relies heavily on her sister Maya Harris. Harris reportedly told Biden staffers directly that she “didn’t want to be assigned to manage the border,” but got stuck overseeing it anyway and allegedly had a flippant attitude about it.

On Sunday, CNN published the behind-the-scenes exposé on Harris’ journey as VP so far. “The fact is, she’s come into this being a great team player because there was a thought that she would not be a team player, and she’s been nothing but a great team player,” Sellers continued. “When you have these articles come out it puts a lot of us in a defensive posture because we see that a lot of people are treating Kamala Harris the same way they treated Hillary Clinton, which is attempting to end her political career in a death by a million cuts,” he added. ![]() ![]() Vice President Kamala Harris (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) ![]()
