Meet Ketanji Brown Jackson’s two daughters, Talia and Leila, who were present for their mom’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
Ketanji Brown Jackson may be President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer and the first Black woman to ever be nominated but she’s also a loving mom. She shares two daughters with her husband Patrick G. Jackson. Throughout the entire process, she has been sure to let her kids know how much they mean to her. “You are the light of my life. Please know that whatever title I may hold or whatever job I may have, I will still be your mom. That will never change,” she said when news of her nomination first broke in February. During the first day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearing on March 22, she spoke directly to her daughters (via CNN). “Girls, I know it has not been easy as I have tried to navigate the challenges of juggling my career and motherhood,” she said lovingly. “And I fully admit that I did not always get the balance right. But I hope that you have seen that with hard work, determination, and love, it can be done.” Here’s everything you need to know about the two young ladies who hold a very special place in Ketanji’s heart. Talia Jackson is Ketanji’s oldest daughter.
