Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a new accent at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 2024 Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington D.C. The accent, described by some as a 'southern negro/mammy' accent, was used in an attempt to connect with the Black audience. Harris greeted the attendees with phrases like 'hello to all my divine 9 brothas and sistas' and 'my soro,' followed by her characteristic cackle.
