“As you can imagine, something like this has never happened in this house before, ” Harris said in the opening remarks of the event. “It is really my joy to bring us all together as a community.”
“My mother, many of you know, had many sayings. And one of them, she’d say to me, was ‘Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you are not the last.’” Kamala Harris said in her speech. “I know that is true for so many here today.”
Dr. Fang had an excellent experience of meeting with a few Congressmen and dignitaries from across the country. We, at Afficient Academy are extremely proud that Dr. Fang was invited by the office of the US Vice President. His patience, perseverance and relentless work at Afficient Academy has been recognized, as an entrepreneur, he is being valued and respected.
