Hi! I am super new to this app and I see a consistent ask about latina(x) mentors. Has anyone been able to find one and how? I am still looking and frankly could you use all the support. I am the only latina in my office and culturally sometimes I hit these invisible walls that make me feel so incredibly self conscious. I am the first to have a degree in my family so they do support me but there’s a huge gap. I want to know how to navigate big law/private practice without losing myself & culture

Hi! I know you posted this a long time ago but just checking in: how’s it going? You feeling any better at your firm? Feel free to DM me. Though I am leaving big law myself soon I’m more than happy to chat with you and offer any advice to the extent you think that’s be helpful. First-gen Latina here (Mexican-American/Chicana). First in my family to do everything I’ve done from undergrad, grad and law school. It can be very lonely, I know it but you’re doing right by trying to reach out to findothers with similar experiences

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗
