Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is making its latest push to Asian American voters, releasing a personal ad about her mother, Shyamala Gopalan.
The 60-second ad, titled “My Mother,” highlights Harris’ speaking about her mom at the Democratic National Convention last month, alongside pictures and videos of Gopalan, who died in 2009.
“My mother was a brilliant 5-foot-tall brown woman with an accent,” Harris said at the convention.
At Berkeley, Gopalan became involved in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, which is how she met Harris’ father, Donald Harris.
The ad showcases images of other Asian individuals and families at work, playing cards, sitting on their porch and shopping at ethnic grocery stores.
