I spent my first summer during Columbia Law School at a firm in Philadelphia described as one of the best places in the city for black lawyers. I believed that if there was any place where I would have an equal chance at opportunities, be treated fairly and succeed, this would be it. There were three black female summer associates out of sixty that year but any time all three of us were in an office talking, one of the partners would knock on the door to see how we were doing.

I had two young men at home who had never had a mother at home, so it was a opportunity and I took it. Now, I work with Boy Scouts of America. And even though I left, I still work with the black employees group from my old job.
