Kamala Harris Counts On Sorority Sisters For Support In Election Bid
Vice President Kamala Harris is turning to a unique and powerful network of supporters in her bid for the presidency: her sorority sisters. As a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA), one of the nine historically Black Greek letter organizations (HGLOs) collectively known as the Divine Nine, Harris is tapping into a vast network of over four million members who are ready to mobilize and get to work electing her.
The Divine Nine, comprising Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Iota Phi Theta, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta, has a long history of civic engagement, community service, and political activism. Members of these organizations have played significant roles in shaping American history, from the Civil Rights Movement to the present day.
Harris’s sorority sisters are eager to support her candidacy, citing her commitment to issues affecting the Black community and her trailblazing legacy as the first Black woman to serve as Vice President. “We are proud to call Kamala our soror,” said an AKA member. “She embodies the values of our organization, and we are excited to support her in this election.”
AKA members are already mobilizing, with local chapters hosting events, rallies, and voter registration drives. Social media is abuzz with sorority sisters sharing messages of support, using hashtags such as #AKAforKamala and #DivineNineforHarris.
The Divine Nine’s support extends beyond AKA, with members of other organizations also rallying behind Harris. “We recognize the significance of Kamala’s candidacy and the impact it will have on our communities,” said a member of Delta Sigma Theta. “We are united in our support for her.”
Harris’s campaign is actively engaging with the Divine Nine, recognizing the potential of this vast network to mobilize voters and drive turnout. “We are grateful for the support of the Divine Nine,” said a campaign spokesperson. “Their commitment to civic engagement and community service aligns with Kamala’s values, and we look forward to working together to elect her.”
As the election season heats up, Harris’s sorority sisters will be crucial in getting out the vote, particularly in key battleground states with significant Black populations. Their efforts will be instrumental in mobilizing voters and ensuring that Harris’s message resonates with the communities she seeks to serve.
In a crowded field of candidates, Harris’s unique connection to the Divine Nine sets her apart. Her sorority sisters are ready to work tirelessly to ensure her success, driven by a shared commitment to sisterhood, service, and the pursuit of excellence.
As one AKA member succinctly put it, “We have got Kamala’s back. We’ll be there every step of the way, working to elect our soror and make history.”

Nurture The Kids Celebrates Milestones In Empowering Children, Communities In Nigeria And US
Nurture the Kids (NTK), a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of children and communities globally, has celebrated its remarkable achievements in providing education, healthcare, and essential resources to those in need.

“Tonight, we gather to celebrate the power of compassion, community, and generosity,” she said. “The seeds we sow today will blossom into a world where every child has the chance to succeed. “Nurture the Kids’ journey began with a poignant moment of inspiration for Dr. Ezeani, who recalled visiting an elementary school in Nigeria and witnessing children in tattered uniforms, struggling to learn in deplorable conditions. “In that moment, I felt a divine call to act,” she said. “I knew that I had to do something to make a difference in the lives of these children.
“Diaspora Watch reports that since its inception, NTK has achieved numerous milestones, including launching a school lunch program in Nigeria that has impacted multiple schools, providing nutritious meals to thousands of children. The organization has also renovated two elementary schools, transforming unsafe and unsuitable buildings into vibrant learning environments that foster growth and development. One of NTK’s most recent and notable projects was completing the construction of a secondary school in Nigeria, which was originally envisioned by the late Bishop Gregory Ochiagha. The school, which was left unfinished after the bishop’s passing, was in danger of being abandoned. However, through the collective efforts of NTK and the Ezinne Women Association, the building was brought to completion, providing a safe and dignified place for children to learn.
“This building represents more than just bricks and mortar – it is a gateway to brighter futures and opportunities that would otherwise remain out of reach,” Dr. Ezeani said. “We are proud to have played a role in bringing this vision to life and look forward to seeing the impact it will have on generations to come. “NTK’s work extends beyond Nigeria, with efforts to reach underserved youth and families in Maryland through education, health screenings, and essential resources. The organization’s commitment to empowering children and communities is rooted in its belief that every individual deserves access to quality education, healthcare, and opportunities for growth and development. As Dr. Ezeani reflected on NTK’s accomplishments, she celebrated the power of community and generosity. “Your kindness, presence, and belief in our mission make every milestone possible,” she said. “We are grateful for your trust in us and look forward to continuing our work together to create a brighter future for all.
“The event was attended by dignitaries, supporters, and members of the community, all of whom were inspired by NTK’s re-markable achievements and commitment to empowering children and communities worldwide. As the organization looks to the future, it remains dedicated to its mission of providing education, healthcare, and essential resources to those in need, and creating a world where every child has the chance to succeed.
