HOMELAND HEALING: VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS INVESTS IN AFRICA’S FUTURE BY ASHLEIGH FIELDS
T hroughout her tenure in office, Vice President Kamala Harris has been working to rebuild and strengthen wavering international bonds between the United States and other foreign countries. Her most recent efforts resulted in a three- day trip to Ghana where the Biden-Harris administration pledged to provide $139 million in assistance to Ghana starting in October. While abroad, the Vice President met with President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana personally to discuss projects that focus on improving the country’s democracy, women empowerment and digital inclusion.
“Together, we will address the challenges we face, and the
opportunities ahead. And today I will speak about one particular area of opportunity: Investment in innovation,” said Harris in a speech at Ghana’s Black Star Gate, which represents freedom and justice. “Innovation is the pursuit of what can be, unburdened by what has been.”
