Marion Hall went into her Lady Saw catalog to find one of her more conscious songs “No Less Than A Woman (Infertility)” to dedicate to U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
Hall took to Instagram to share the music video for the song about women who are unable to have children with the caption, “PLEASE @kamalaharris IN THE COMMENTS THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO HER!”
The song which is track 5 on Saw’s sixth studio album “Walk Out,” released April 23, 2007 and was he least explicit album throughout her career. The album peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Reggae albums chart, her fourth career entry.
Lady Saw, 55, who now goes by the name Marion Hall and Vice President Kamala Harris, 59 have not given birth to any children. Harris recently received the nod from President Joe Biden to head the Democratic ticket for the 2024 US general election.
Hall’s dedicated comes as recent and resurfacing attacks have attempted to diminish Harris’s role as a parent from Trump pick for VP and Harris opponent, J.D. Vance recently claimed that Harris has no children.
Like Lady Saw however, Harris has cared for other children as godmother and stepmother.
At President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021, Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris was seen with Doug Emhoff, her stepchildren Cole and Ella Emhoff, and Vice President Mike Pence. During Ella’s college graduation in 2021, Harris beamed proudly next to her stepdaughter, and she officiated Cole’s wedding in October. The Emhoff siblings affectionately call her “Momala,” a title she embraces with pride.
In a video from a 2021 interview on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” J.D. Vance, the GOP vice-presidential nominee, argued that Harris and other prominent Democrats, such as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “don’t really have a direct stake” in the country’s future because they are “people without children,” and “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they’ve made.”
Streams of Beyoncé’s “Freedom” jumped by 1300% this week )between Sunday-Tuesday) after the front-running Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris adopted it as her campaign anthem according to Luminate.
Beyoncé herself is reported to have given permission for the use of the song which was on the singer’s Lemonade album.
On Sunday, the song had approximately 16,600 streams, but by Tuesday, July 23, it had garnered around 235,400 streams. These numbers are expected to rise further, as Harris released her first campaign ad on Thursday featuring the song prominently.
“In this election, we each face a question: What kind of country do we want to live in? There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate. But us? We choose something different. We choose freedom,” Harris said in the new ad.
Following President Joe Biden’s announcement on Sunday that he would not seek re-election and his endorsement of Harris, she has received a wave of support from pop stars. Among those voicing their support for Harris and her policies this week are Olivia Rodrigo, Cardi B, and Barbra Streisand. Charli XCX, whose ongoing Brat Summer has contributed to a flood of Kamala memes, is also among Harris’s supporters. The album’s iconic lime green hue and simple black font aesthetic are featured as the header image for Harris’s campaign HQ account on X.
