America did not elect Kamala Harris as its first female president this week, but many women across the country expressed gratitude for witnessing a fellow Black woman run for the highest office in the land. Despite Harris' loss on November 5, individuals like Janet Edwards from Washington, DC, emphasized the importance of not losing sight of future possibilities and remaining optimistic.
Women of color, who overwhelmingly supported Harris, felt a deep disappointment following the election results. This marked the second time in eight years that the highest glass ceiling remained intact, challenging the hopes of those aspiring to see the first female president elected in the United States.
