I get asked so many times, “do you really think America is ready for a female president?”. Why don’t we ask a better question as we head to the polls today: are WE ready for a step toward a more equitable, inclusive America for all?

#USAElections

This isn’t just about breaking glass ceilings or achieving a “first” for women or people of color. It’s about dismantling the very systems that box us in and limit our potential.

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

While her opponents play heavily on her race and gender, Kamala is centering her campaign on justice, inclusion, and equality. She’s not positioning herself as “the woman candidate” or “the Black candidate,” but as the candidate for everyone who wants a different America

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

Harris’s campaign is revealing just how powerful it can be to rise above identity politics and instead focus on the values and vision that resonate universally.

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

This #USAElections have spotlighted the pervasive biases that female leaders continue to face—far too often seen as "female" first and whatever role they occupy second. Look at how we use language: we say “female CEO” but never “male CEO.” A man is simply a CEO, full stop.

From the historic election of Mexico's first female president to the end of dictatorship in Bangladesh - change is not just possible; it’s on the horizon.

While we've witnessed a rise in right-wing leadership globally over the past few years, this election season has sparked a wave of defiant optimism about our capacity to challenge even the most entrenched power structures.

In contrast, Donald Trump’s campaign is marked by aggressive fundraising efforts in oil-rich areas of Texas.

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

VP Harris is actively engaging with key financial leaders to enhance her economic messaging, signaling her commitment to equitable growth and sustainability.

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

As we approach these critical final weeks, we are seeing how campaign strategies foreshadow what each candidate will prioritize once in office.

Folks - we are just 1 month away from the #USAElections.

We dont need just thoughts, or prayer, or short term anger. We need reform. Systematically. For this to happen in 2024 is abhorrent.

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

Misleading claims can easily overshadow the genuine issues at hand and hinder constructive dialogue about rebuilding of the country. Let’s stay informed and vigilant, focusing on facts rather than falling prey to sensationalism.

As Bangladesh continues to navigate these turbulent times, I urge all of us to exercise caution and critically evaluate the information we encounter.
#BangladeshCrisis

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

In #Bangladesh, the dramatic shift following Hasina’s departure has sparked unsettling claims about an “Islamic takeover” and targeted attacks on minorities—narratives that, in my opinion, aim to maintain the status quo by sowing discord and confusion

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

Government transitions can be filled with uncertainty, and unfortunately, this is a prime opportunity for some to exploit that uncertainty with misleading information and fearmongering.

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

Refreshing to see a fact-checker on stage, but also…what does that say? It’s almost an admission of the kind of candidate you have when you need someone there just to ensure they don’t spread lies or fearmonger. Speaks volumes. #HarrisTrumpDebate2024

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

When @KamalaHarris talks about building an economy that works for working families, not just the wealthy, she’s speaking to the heart of what we need right now. We can’t thrive as a nation by leaving the middle class behind. #HarrisTrumpDebate #EconomicJustice

[Durreen Shahnaz @durreen]

Loved how @KamalaHarris emphasized that tax cuts for the rich aren’t 'economic growth.' Real growth happens when we invest in education, healthcare, and opportunity for ALL Americans. This is why we need her leadership! #HarrisTrumpDebate #EconomicsForThePeople
