Ketanji Brown Jackson's Daughters

America made another record regarding racial equality this Thursday, June 30th 2022 when Ketanji Brown Jackson was appointed to the post of Supreme Court judge and became the first Black woman to hold such a post. The nomination, rejected by Republicans, was made official in April when the Senate could vote 53-47 on the 7th of April to confirm her appointment this year.

Jackson succeeded Justice Stephen Breyer, who expressed his desire to retire, which created a gap for his successor. President Joe Biden clarified his intentions in his first speech by naming Jackson as Breyer’s replacement. However, his decision was resisted by Republicans. The Senate was divided 50-50 over the appointment. Nonetheless, the vice president, Kamala Harris, had declared that she would vote for Jackson.

Leila’s parents are her role model in her life and inspiration. Leila wrote, “My parents are my primary motivation because of how far they’ve come in their lives, the amount of work they put and the sacrifices they always make for our family and us.”

Jackson was quoted as saying, “The hours are long. The workflow is unpredictable. There is no control over your time or your schedule. You begin to feel that you are always in conflict with the demands of your children as well as your family obligations” at the 35th Edith House Lecture.
