Listen now
Description
Lawyer, Activist, Entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling Author, Meena Harris,  joins Yola to share her inspiration behind her two children's books, "Kamala And Maya's Big Idea" and "Ambitious Girl." Growing up with strong women in her family such as, Senator Kamala Harris, and her mother, Maya Harris, shaped her to always be ambitious and go after her dreams while advocating for what is right. Her first children's book is based on a true story from her aunt Kamala and mother Maya's childhood. Her second book set to release in January 2021 is all about teaching young girls to be ambitious regardless of where they come from. Meena and Yola also discuss growing up in multi-cultural environments, her media company Phenomenal, the importance of voting and raising children to be inclusive. Join ISAL Insiders here.
