It is our goal and mission to promote women of color in the legal profession for their multitude of successes and to honor them for their personal and professional accomplishments. We, as women of color and attorneys by profession, strive to publicize our diverse cultures. We hope our contributions to our communities will help to ensure the number of women attorneys of color will soon increase. We are women of color first and attorneys second, but we are also mothers, daughters, wives, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers. We are often caregivers, teachers, breadwinners, role models and cultural leaders. These are not responsibilities that we seek out, but are responsibilities that fall upon us, because we are women. Nonetheless, these are the responsibilities that we fulfill on a daily basis and for these reasons we celebrate all women.
