In August of 2008, Michelle Obama delivered a speech at the Democratic Convention saying, "The only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them."
Shortly after, she would officially assume the role of first lady of the United States, making her the first African American woman to ever do so.
More than a decade later, Kamala Harris wrote her own chapter in the history books when she was inaugurated as the first Black — and female — vice president.
It's trailblazers like Obama and Harris, two awe-inspiring Black women in history, who prove that perseverance and determination can lead to profound change.
