It’s not what you think… My son served as a lead on Air Force 2 and worked closely with Vice President Kamala Harris — including the day there was a Havana Syndrome scare in Hanoi, and during the Afghanistan evacuation, when the plane was so full of people being rescued that he slept in the galley. In this Summer Shorts episode, Mechelle draws on those firsthand experiences — and on Kamala's remarkable public journey — to ask four questions about what it costs to carry that much, to be the first, to witness that much human need, and to choose joy anyway. Personal, political, and deeply human. Show Notes — Context for Listeners: The Havana Syndrome Hanoi incident occurred in August 2021 during VP Harris's trip to Vietnam The Afghanistan evacuation took place August 2021 following the Taliban's rapid takeover Reference: The Memo by Minda Harts (on the invisible load of being first/only) Reference: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem (on racialized trauma and the body) Content Note: This episode touches on political events but is not a political episode — it is a human one. Mechelle is not endorsing or critiquing policy. She is exploring the human and somatic experience of a public figure through a personal lens.
