Prepare for an unforgettable episode of 100 Days of Kamala as host Priya David Clemens dives into the inspiring story of Tanene Allison, a former homeless youth whose life was transformed by the mentorship of Kamala Harris. In a candid conversation, Tanene reveals the profound impact of Kamala’s presence, sharing, *“Kamala became the one consistent adult in my life, the one who always saw me, who believed in me even when I couldn’t.”*
Their journey together begins over 20 years ago in San Francisco, where Kamala, then a young lawyer, was championing the rights of vulnerable youth. From that first encounter, Tanene felt Kamala’s unique blend of strength and compassion: “She was just brilliant… I instantly knew she was special and wanted to know her.” Over the years, Kamala’s support only grew—when Tanene was accepted to Harvard but faced financial barriers, Kamala stepped in and said, “We’ll figure it out.” This moment would prove to be a turning point, setting Tanene on a path she never thought possible.
But Kamala’s mentorship wasn’t just words; it was a consistent, active presence. She even attended Tanene’s Harvard graduation, a surprise that showed her deep commitment. Tanene fondly recalls, “She was the only adult who ever asked about my grades.” Kamala’s support extended well beyond education—when Tanene took on the monumental task of rebuilding the Texas Democratic Party, Kamala was there every step of the way. Opening her Rolodex, Kamala guided Tanene in securing resources and support, helping shape a political legacy in Texas that is felt to this day.
This episode of 100 Days of Kamala pulls back the curtain on Kamala Harris’s life-changing influence, capturing a side of her the world rarely sees: mentor, champion, and fierce advocate. Join us to witness the incredible story of resilience, empowerment, and unwavering support that has defined Tanene’s journey—and see Kamala Harris like never before.
