Law School Here I Come!

Times have been challenging. The new administration has raised deep questions for me about justice, equity, and how we fight for the future we believe in. I have been thinking long and hard about what my role in that fight looks like.

I want to be a change maker. And I know that real change requires a deep understanding of the law. That is why, last fall, I quietly began a journey to apply to law schools.

I kept the process close to my chest, but today I feel compelled to share that I was accepted into several programs. With the recent Supreme Court decision, I no longer feel like this is just a path I want to take. It is a path I must take.

In just a few weeks, I will be heading to law school.

I am nervous. I am excited. I am ready to learn everything I can about the law. I want to be part of the fight for justice and a better future.

Let’s get to work. ⚖️✊🏽
