Amara and Leela, Vice President Kamala Harris’ grandnieces, took the main stage Thursday at the Democratic National Convention for a lesson on how to pronounce their auntie’s name. They were introduced and accompanied on stage by actress Kerry Washington.
“First you say comma, like comma in a sentence,” Amara said.
“Then you say, ‘La,’ like lalalala,” Leela finished.
With Washington, they led the arena through some chants to practice.
