Kamala Harris is the first woman, the first Black woman and the first South Asian woman nominated for president.

The term “auntie” is an honorific with a flexible definition, used to define not just blood relatives, but older women in the community who help shoulder caregiving responsibilities.

Some self-described “aunties” say they are newly energized by Kamala Harris’ ascent.

“There’s a different kind of euphoria,” said Deepali Gulati , 59 , who works at a support organization for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
