America, Asia, Africa<\/strong><\/b>: these three continents have forged the personality of the Democratic candidate for President of the United States.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/b> was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California,<\/strong><\/b> to two remarkable people, her father from Jamaica and her mother from India<\/strong><\/b>. The former, of Jamaican origin, is an economist and professor emeritus at Stanford University<\/strong><\/b>, while the latter is a biologist and oncologist specializing in breast cancer<\/strong><\/b>.
