    I am a 72 year old white southern grandma and I have absolutely nothing in common with you. When you came up on my feed I decided to watch when I saw a reference to you passing the bar. I have a son who is an attorney and I will never forget how he reacted to that big notification. I am about 20 minutes into watching and I really like you. I am going to subscribe and follow you on your journey with all of the new things that you are going to experience in the next journey.

      That’s so weird for me to hear that song in a vlog in New York. I’m a reunionaise (living in Reunion Island) and this song is one those that we listen and party on! It’s Haitian and not from our culture but at this stage it’s part of us, dance on this in every family events, night clubs, bars, when it’s clean up day! There’s something about being born an island human that somehow brought us all together… We’re multicultural with a strong story behind us… BREF, lol excuse my french, english is not out first language!

    Welcome to the 2% of the 5%! I know a lot of people don't seem to think that non-first gen people "get it" but as a Black American woman whose grandparents and parents couldn't attend the same schools I could by law, I can say the fact that any of us have made it into this tiny club is a miracle. I wish the UBE was a thing when I took the NY bar. Shout out to the third department 😂

    Hi I’m currently working on being accepted into a law program through an online school called Keiser University. I just took the Wonderlic exam this morning. It was 30 questions and timed but I only got through but so many questions. I’m praying I did well enough I need a score of 17.
