Vice President Kamala Harris made a special appearance at Tyra Banks' Smize and Dream ice cream pop-up in Washington, D.C. with her nieces by her side. The pop-up, created by Banks, pays tribute to her famous phrase from America's Next Top Model, "smize," which means to smile with your eyes.
During her visit, Harris shared her admiration for Banks' journey to success, recalling her own memories of her mother's sacrifices to pursue her dreams. For Banks, ice cream represents love, bonding, and the pursuit of dreams.
Harris' visit came just before the news broke that she could potentially be the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 Presidential Election, as President Joe Biden announced he would not be seeking re-election. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Harris thanked Banks for her investment in the DC community and expressed her excitement for the future.
Banks, who is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a sorority within the Divine Nine community, shared a personal comment on Harris' post, reminiscing about the special moments she shared with her mother over ice cream. She also highlighted the overwhelming support Harris has received from Black women and allies, with over 90,000 pledging their support within 24 hours of Biden's announcement.
The official announcement of the Democratic presidential nominee will take place at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August. If Harris is selected, she will make history as the first Black and South Asian woman to become a major party nominee. This news has been met with excitement and support, including an endorsement from Nikki Haley Voters PAC. Harris' journey is a testament to the strength and determination of Black women, and she continues to inspire and empower others with her accomplishments.
