“Kamala came into my life when I was fourteen, a period that was very easy for a teenager,” Emhoff said.

‘Like many other young people, I didn’t always understand what I was feeling, but no matter what happened, Kamala was there for me.’

“She was patient, caring, and always took me seriously,” Emhoff said. “She never stopped listening to me, and she won’t stop listening to all of us.”
