Unveiling Maya Harris: The Vice President’s Only Sister and Her Remarkable Journey

Maya Harris: The Vice President’s Sister Making Waves in Politics

As the world continues to learn more about Vice President Kamala Harris and her historic journey to the White House, another important figure in her life is starting to gain attention – her sister, Maya Harris.

In an exclusive interview with The Root, Governor Wes Moore shed light on the close relationship between Kamala and Maya, describing their bond as “unbreakable.” With only two years between them, the sisters have always been close, growing up together in the same household.

Maya Harris, like her sister, has made a name for herself in the legal field. Following in Kamala’s footsteps, Maya pursued a career in law, studying at Stanford University for her undergraduate degree and later earning her law degree from UC Berkeley. She has worked as a civil litigator, an adjunct law professor, and even became the Dean of Lincoln Law School of San Jose at the young age of 29.

In her personal life, Maya became a mother at a young age, giving birth to her daughter Meena while still in high school. She credits Meena with introducing her to her husband, Tony West, a former U.S. Assistant Attorney General and current chief legal officer for Uber.

Maya’s involvement in politics is no surprise, given her family’s background as activists. She has worked on presidential campaigns for both Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden. In a viral moment from a 2017 interview with Kamala, Maya’s infectious laugh and prediction of her sister’s political success have endeared her to many.

As Maya Harris continues to make her mark in the political arena, it’s clear that the Harris sisters share not only a bond but also a passion for making a difference in the world.
