  • I am truly excited about my experience in the 2025 mentorship cohort. My mentor provided exceptional guidance throughout the law school application process, and their support was invaluable. With their encouragement, I confidently pursued my dreams and am proud to announce my acceptance to law school. This mentorship has been a transformative journey, and I deeply appreciate my mentor's belief in my potential. — Yasmine. J

  • Being a part of this community has been a game-changer for me.

    The connections I've made at events like Empowerment Brunch have opened doors I never expected. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging creating an atmosphere where we can all thrive together. I genuinely feel like I belong, and I'm excited to continue growing alongside community! — Samara. Y

  • Volunteering with EHR has proven to be a profoundly rewarding experience in my professional journey. I have the honor of guiding young women of color through the law school application process, assisting them with statements and preparation. It is gratifying to contribute to growth as they take the initial steps toward a career in law.

    Celebrating their achievements such as law school acceptances, is genuinely fulfilling —Lisa J, ESQ
