Everyone wants to feel special when it comes to a milestone moment like graduating university. But few could hope to have the vice-president of the United States among their cheer squad.
Last week, Kamala Harris joined her stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, 21, to celebrate her graduation from the prestigious The New School's Parsons School of Design in New York, where she has just completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
While the ceremony was held virtually, 'Momala', as her husband Doug Emhoff's kids Ella and Cole call her, made sure the new graduate felt plenty of love, sending a shout out to her 10 million Twitter followers.

"Congratulations to our daughter Ella on her graduation. I am so proud of you. Keep dreaming with ambition and there is nothing you cannot achieve. Love, Momala," she posted.
Ella shot to fame earlier this year, after her quirky take on high fashion drew praise at Joe Biden and Harris' presidential inauguration and was quickly signed to IMG Models.

"Ella communicates this moment in time. There's a cheekiness and a joy she exudes," he said of her signing.
Last month Ella, who has been nicknamed 'The first daughter of Bushwick' for her quirky, Brooklynesque style also recently celebrated the release of her first fashion collaboration.
Teaming up with label Batsheva, she released a three-piece crochet line of a bag, crop top and a knit vest featuring a 'granny circle'.
