U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris made history, becoming the first female, Black, and South Asian American to hold the office, inspiring a generation of young leaders to follow in her footsteps. 

Girl Up changemakers can be seen in this film, “Today We Rise,” watching the history-making inauguration. Through their eyes you can see what it meant for the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants to be sworn in as the 49th Vice President of the United States, becoming the highest-ranking female politician in American history. 

The film underscores the profound impact that the images of Vice President Harris taking her oath of office, administered by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina to serve on the nation’s highest court, will have on generations to come. 

Giovanni Messner of production house brother directed and edited “Today We Rise” for Girl Up out of agency Ogilvy.
