About

Sister in Law,

Are you a Woman Attorney of Color who is frustrated, blocked by bias or by stereotype, or under-recognized?  Are you ready to leave the practice of law or work in a different area of law than the one in which you work?   Have you been practicing law for at least 25 years, but you feel you are not just stuck but stifled?  A national bar confirms that most minority women attorneys have considered leaving the law.

The Challenges

  •  Many women of color reach a pivotal point in their careers or an age when being an attorney is not fulfilling.    

  • As an influencer, I can help you move past these challenges, navigate the changes and move ahead with  an accountability partner.

Personal Life Challenges

Exchanging Time for Money

 

 

You work so many hours it feels like you are working for free. You spend your personal time working and miss experiences that matter outside of work?  Your personal life has suffered for years because you did not have the time to develop and deeper relationships with a partner or spouse or children. 

 

​

Sacrificing Personal Well-Being

​

  • Even your mental health is compromised by work pressures.  Attorneys of color abuse drugs and experience depression at an alarmingly higher rates than their colleagues who are not of color.  Startling numbers of women of color have contemplated suicide.

Low expectations of your performance 

Supervising attorneys do not recognize and value your work. You can’t meet unspoken expectations by working twice as hard as other attorneys who are not of color. 

Frustrating
Work Challenges
