What was the most rewarding part of being on the BLSA Executive Board?
Meeting other aspiring attorneys who supported social and racial justice. Will always remember going to the NBLSA convention in Compton, CA (yes, Compton) and changing the agenda on the fly to participate in protest in L.A.
What challenges did you face as a member of the BLSA Executive Board?
Finding the balance between ensuring BLSA was a Black-serving organization while not running afoul of the rules at schools about equal access.
How did your participation in the BLSA Executive Board shape you as a Black professional?
As a diversity and inclusion professional, many of the issues I faced as a law student are still relevant today in my work. I am glad to see that people are becoming more comfortable making sure others know of their experience and demand their place in these institutions.
