Joe Biden took the oath in the inauguration ceremony on the 20th of January and became the 46th President of the United States of America. In the momentous ceremony, Kamala Harris, a woman of color(Indian origin), took an oath to become the first woman to become Vice President of the United States.

Harris was sworn on two bibles by a Latina judge, Sonia Maria Sotomayor, the first Hispanic and Latina judge to sit on the US supreme court. There were many firsts this time around in the name of women empowerment, which is considered a brilliant milestone across the world in times such as today where misogyny is still very much persistent in the world we live in and women are seen less often in places of authority.

Have a look at the Vice President taking the oath:

For the first time in history, America is giving priority to inclusivity and diversity on the table

Love poured in from across the globe on Twitter for Kamala Harris. A historic moment indeed.

People thanked Harris for showing the girls that this can be done if one is determined enough

Is it just us, or does reading ‘Madam Vice President’ remind you of House of Cards too?

Women in Media In Charge of Leading Coverage for Biden Administration

In other news, for the first time, six networks allotted women to lead the coverage of Biden administration, reports CNN. This will raise the profile of female journalists in the establishment always dominated by men.

1 – Kaitlan Collin from CNN was announced as White House correspondent. She will be the anchor and chief domestic correspondent for the network.

2 – Cecilia Vega will be ABC Network’s White House correspondent
3 – Ashley Parker from Washington Post named as the newspaper’s White House bureau chief
4 –  CBS News’ chief White House correspondent will be Nancy Cordes.
5 – Kristen Welker will become NBC’s co-chief White House correspondent with Peter Alexander.

6 – Yamiche Alcindor from PBS has covered NewsHour, and she will continue the same job under the Biden administration.

“I’ve always thought women belonged in the front row — whether that’s in the White House briefing room or any other. I am thrilled to be among this formidable group of reporters,” says Collin.

“It is clear that diversity in all forms, including in gender and race, is necessary to tell the stories of our generation in the most accurate and fairway. The American people are best served by a media that looks like the collage of experiences and backgrounds that make up this country,” Alcindor told CNN Business.
