Three Black women have made history as part of President-elect Joe Biden's communication team, comprised of all women -- seven in total. Ashley Etienne, Karine Jean-Pierre, and Symone Sanders will help lead communications for the Biden and Kamala Harris administration. This is the first time that all of the top aides acting as the White House's voice will all be women. This move goes in line with Biden's promise that those working for the administration would mirror the people who make up this country.
"Communicating directly and truthfully to the American people is one of the most important duties of a President, and this team will be entrusted with the tremendous responsibility of connecting the American people to the White House," Biden said in a statement. "These qualified, experienced communicators bring diverse perspectives to their work and a shared commitment to building this country back better," he added.
