I know as attorneys of color, we often find ourselves being in a room with dozens of attorneys and still were the only attorney of color (I’m a brown woman, very often the only brown person AND only woman in the room). I’m starting to attend more client meetings and depositions, trials, etc. and I’m noticing it more and it’s starting to distract me bc I start overthinking it in the moment. How do y’all deal with that?

I’ve gotten desensitized. I’m aware that I bring value to the plate, and at times, my procedural knowledge is more superior than OC’s, so to me it turns to “it’s what you know,” rather than the American dichotomy of race.

Mentor junior associates, get involved in community organizations so you can mentor younger people deciding on career paths, take on leadership roles at your firm and local bar. Be the best attorney you can be. Except for one client that was basically racist, I more felt that being young and a woman sticks out more to people in those situations than being a POC.
