    Hi Joy! We are all looking forward to speaking with you tomorrow. I am especially excited to hear about your experiences while in law school and while working with the Legal Aid Society. Thanks in advance for taking the time to come speak with us!

    Hi Joy! I can’t wait to hear you speak tomorrow. I’d love to ask you questions about your journey to law school, and how you decided to work at non-profit and social justice oriented organizations. It’s a career path I’m inclined to pursue myself! See you soon!

  • Dami Animashaun

    Its like the night before Christmas; i might not be able to sleep!

    Joy, I’ve heard a few times by now the stereotype that men make better attorneys. Have you faced this attitude at school or at work? Or can you say that both men and women attorneys are perceived as equal? Would love to know your opinion!

    Welcome Joy! The students are surely in for a treat.
