FEEDBACK FROM ATTENDEES
Networking opportunities and substantive sessions were fabulous. I was moved by the authenticity, vulnerability and transparency of the speakers.
I liked being in a room with peers that could relate to my experience as a Black lawyer without any judgement
I enjoyed how I had access to years worth of knowledge all around me. Some many panelists and questioners were so vulnerable and it was enlightening and inspiring to hear their authentic experiences.
