It was a big day for dozens of women in San Francisco Saturday.
36 women became new U.S. citizens during a naturalization ceremony at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and were welcomed by Congresswoman and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
With the oath of allegiance, each celebrated a journey that started some time ago.
Pelosi addressed the new U.S. citizens.
“It’s a happy day for our country. I’m particularly excited that its women in stem because the opportunities are so great there and the diversity that you bring to subject is so essential,” she said.
Pelosi noted that the ceremony was on International Day of Women and
