A Daughter of Two Worlds
What shapes a person who will break through one glass ceiling after another? For Kamala Harris, it began with a five-foot-tall force of nature named Shyamala Gopalan, who arrived in Berkeley from India at nineteen with nothing but ambition and a fierce sense of justice. This brilliant scientist would publish over one hundred papers on breast cancer research and raise nearly $5 million in grants-but her most lasting contribution might be the wisdom she imparted to her daughters: "You may be the first to do many things, but make sure you are not the last." Shyamala met Donald Harris, a Jamaican economics student, at a gathering of Black students in 1962. They married a year later, naming their daughters after Indian mythology-Kamala meaning "lotus flower" and Maya referring to divine power. Baby Kamala reportedly demanded "Fee-dom!" from her stroller during civil rights protests, her parents pushing through Berkeley's politically charged streets where the Black Panthers emerged and anti-war movements flourished. But the marriage couldn't survive. By the time Kamala was five, her parents had separated, divorcing three years later. While Donald became Stanford's first tenured Black economist, Kamala remained closest to her mother, rarely mentioning her father in later years. When Shyamala moved the family to Montreal for a research position, twelve-year-old Kamala adapted by forming a dance troupe and welcoming her abused friend Wanda into their home-an act of compassion that would echo through her future career.
