Is there anyone who influenced you to become a lawyer?
While at Spelman College, I attended an event on campus hosted by the Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys (“GABWA”). After listening to many successful African-American, female lawyers and judges speak so candidly and passionately about the profession, any doubts that I previously had disappeared. I knew that this was the career for me.
What are some activities you do when you are not studying or working?
When I am not studying or working, I enjoy practicing hot yoga and watching movies. My favorite movie genres are action, psychological thriller, and documentary films.
If you were an item in a happy meal, what would you be and why?Â
If I were any item in a happy meal, I would certainly be the signature Happy Meal box because you can always count on it to hold the meal together no matter the surrounding environment or what is inside.
