What does it mean to be a Black woman in law?

  • "To be a powerful woman with resilience who perseveres through every obstacle and challenge."

  • "It means using my story to encourage others."

  • "It means that the world will be a better place because I am able to use my education to make a difference."

  • "To be a black woman in law means to exemplify our ancestors wildest dreams. It means being able to persevere in a field that was not made with us in mind, but to partake in it with grace."

  • "Advocacy and sisterhood."

  • "Rising above all and not quitting in the face of adversity!"
